Take a look at the sample offlineimap.conf, it explains how to use that:

# The trash folder name may be different from [Gmail]/Trash
# for example on german googlemail, this setting should be
# trashfolder = [Google Mail]/Papierkorb
# The same is valid for the spam folder
# spamfolder = [Google Mail]/Spam

The thing is, we should be able to autodetect Gmails "special" folder
names, it's just that no one has yet implemented this yet.
