I ran offlineimap with the "-d imap -1" option:

Unfortunately I can not read anything in there, as I am not an IMAP expert.

BTW, I just found out the problematic server imap.1blu.de is a "Cyrus
IMAP4 Murder v2.1.18-IPv6-Debian-2.1.18-1+sarge2", dont know if there is
any special option needed for such a server (why should there?)?.

Regards,
Johannes
