Yep, you have gmail chatlogs as mails and uploading these fails with
gmail apparently. We had a couple bug reports with regard to that and
also a debian bug report. It's not an OfflineImap error because the
Debian bug report says, that both mutt and Thunderbird also fail
attempting to upload that. (Uploading means in this case moving tho the
Trash folder, I guess).

This will currently abort the folder syncing, I think.

I have a round of patches ready that I submit after we release the next
stable (hopefully soon), to at least only skip the failed message and
continue with the next message.

I consider it a Gmail bug that uploading a gmail chat fail, but we
should (and will) fail more gracefully than aborting the folder sync.

Manually deleteing the gmail chat log emails via the web interface could
solve this for now.
