Heh, I've got a very similar setup! Anyway, same here: it worked
fine.

Yes, although I guess one can set it up to test by sending a massive
email to a dev at null.com address. Then GMail will stick a copy in your
Sent Items folder, which OfflineImap will sync... (sending to yourself
doesn't seem to work with GMail, since it detects the duplicate with the
sent message or something)
