Problem with copying message to the server

[Jiri Cerny]

You are right, I did not remark this localised date. I tried first the
simpler solution: 
LANG=C offlineimap 
and the synchronisation went smoothly.

So I know how to workaround my problem for the moment, and it should be trivial
to fix the offlineimap too. 

Thank you for your help.
