Hi

I don't manage to get offlineimap to connect to gmail after a new
installation of Ubuntu 13.04. Offlineimap installed from source (6.5.4) and
same config files.

I get the following reply:
##################
10:37:30 ~$ offlineimap
OfflineIMAP 6.5.4
  Licensed under the GNU GPL v2+ (v2 or any later version)
*** Processing account Gmail
Establishing connection to imap.gmail.com:993
ERROR: Server SSL fingerprint 'b0ba392bba326e6feb1add4d04fa0fb86cd173fa'
for hostname 'imap.gmail.com' does not rt_fingerprint' accordingly if not
set yet.
*** Finished account 'Gmail' in 0:00
^CTerminating NOW (this may take a few seconds)...
ERROR: Exceptions occurred during the run!

Ok - I added
cert_fingerprint=b0ba392bba326e6feb1add4d04fa0fb86cd173fa

to .offlineimaprc, although I have  sslcacertfile =
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt already there (ca-certificates are
installed)

Now I get:

##################
10:37:44 ~$ offlineimap

10:40:03 ~$
Any suggestions what is going on here?

Thanks,

Rainer
