Thanks for taking a look.

Well guessed, it in fact is a spam folder :)
Still, it doesn't actually differ from any other folder. Apart from the
fact that it is probably the one with the highest traffic.
IIRC all of the problems occurred treating that folder, not sure
though.

Dovecot v2.0.8, offlineimap claims to be 6.2.0, from looking at the
package, it looks like it's 6.2.0.2.

Here are the details from the package:

pkgname=offlineimap
pkgver=6.2.0.2

source=($pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::http://github.com/jgoerzen/$pkgname/tarball/debian/$pkgver \
        $pkgname.1.gz)


There's also a git-wrapper-package available, but it's flagged as
outdated, it still points to

_gitroot="git://github.com/jgoerzen/offlineimap.git"

What should be used in that place? I might as well send a patch to the
package maintainer.

Is "http://wiki.github.com/jgoerzen/offlineimap/" still up to date?
