Hmmm.  I removed the following lines from .offlineimaprc:

   folderfilter = lambda foldername: 1
   readonly = False

and now it DOES copy emails to the remote end.

The first few times I ran it with the new settings, it gave errors such as

   Copy message -131 MappedIMAP[INBOX] -> IMAP[INBOX]
   WARNING: ERROR attempting to copy message -131 for account 
Test:Traceback (most recent call last):
     File 
"/home/chris/bin/offlineimap/lib/python/offlineimap/folder/Base.py", 
line 250, in copymessageto
       message = self.getmessage(uid)
     File 
"/home/chris/bin/offlineimap/lib/python/offlineimap/folder/UIDMaps.py", 
line 167, in getmessage
       return self._mb.getmessage(self.r2l[uid])
     File 
"/home/chris/bin/offlineimap/lib/python/offlineimap/folder/IMAP.py", 
line 215, in getmessage
       raise OfflineImapError(reason, severity)
   OfflineImapError: IMAP server 'LocalIMAP' does not have a message 
with UID '847'

but eventually it ran with no errors, and seems to have copied 
everything successfully.

Which is nice.

cheers

Chris
