<p>I am using offlineimap version 6.5.5 on Mac OS X Yosemite and I get the following when I try to sync.</p>
<p>ERROR: ERROR in syncfolder for Noorul folder INBOX: Traceback (most recent call last):<br>

OperationalError: unable to open database file</p>
<p>I did some investigation and I observe the following.</p>
<ol class="task-list">
<li>The same offlineimaprc configuration works on offlineimap 6.3.5 on debian along with dovecot</li>
<li>It looks like recent version of offlineimap is not creating status db for folders that already exist in destination.</li>
<li>I thought this issue was just with my INBOX folder as dovecot creates this by default. By it looks like if I delete status db for of already synced folder, I get the same error for that too.</li>
</ol>
