Hi Nikola,

I'd love to support python3. offlineimap is python3 ready, it's the 
bundled imaplib2.py that is not. I have submitted some patches there 
already but I don't think they have been integrated. Do head over to the 
imaplib2 project at sourceforge and put a little pressure on the 
maintainer :-).

Best,
Sebastian
