Description

I'm trying to automate the use of vdirsyncer for backing up from sogo (mailcow). For automation it would be cool if it didn't ask if it should create a folder if i just pass a flag like -y and instead just do it automatically.

Sidenote: How can I use it as a library in my own python stuff? The code doesn't make this clear for me sadly.

Research direction

Start by tracing the CLI path that asks whether a folder should be created and inspect how command-line flags are defined. Confirm how vdirsyncer currently handles folder creation, then define the -y behavior so automated runs proceed without the prompt. The library-usage question is separate and may require its own documentation issue.
