I first applied these topics and finally reverted them because it's
broken:

 WARNING: ERROR attempting to sync flags for account dev:Traceback (most
recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/offlineimap/folder/Base.py", line 413, in syncmessagesto

    os.utime(os.path.join(tmpdir, tmpmessagename), (rtime, rtime))
NameError: global name 'tmpmessagename' is not defined

Don't have time to look futher, sorry.
