Hello
I have used for years offlineimap-6.2.0 dovecot-imapd 1:1.2.9 in Kubuntu 10.04
Together with a imap server of my university. Yesterday we switched to google, which I know, is not a real imap server.
I have 2 problems and the first I think has to do with either an old version of offlineimap or a bad configuration file:
- All folders are downloaded+ Gmail[All Mail] so
doubling my mail.
- My INBOX folder is empty, however this is the only
folder for which offlinemap gives the following
warning:Syncing INBOX: Gmail -> MappedIMAP WARNING: UID validity problem for folder INBOX (repo UniLocal) (saved 1309334376; got 1355232397); skipping it
So maybe this is also a offlineimap fault.
In any case I have googled around and found out that I am not the only person suffering this problem. I have attached my configuration file in the hope that may be somebody could give me a hint.
Thanks in advance
Uwe Brauer
