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
