Running offlineimap from cron job – which environment variables are needed?

Hi again,

I’m still trying to run offlineimap from cron (better: fcron), but
since cron doesn’t set any environment variables except for HOME and
SHELL.
I get error messages without any clues what error occured, and it has
to be because of unset environment varibles because running it from
shell with the same options works just fine.

Try %env -i offlineimap -u ttyui for yourself and see if it works (env
- -i unsets the env varibles for that command).
It produces the same errors as the cronjob.
