In the end I guessed which messages were causing the timeout, there were
a couple of messages that I kept deleting from my inbox in the webmail
client, then when I ran offlineimap they would reappear in my inbox
(instead of being deleted from the local copy of the inbox). I deleted
these two messages again using the webmail client, and then deleted
them locally as well using my maildir client, and then ran offlineimap,
and now everything seems fine. Luckily there weren't many messages in
this folder so it wasn't too hard to see which messages were causing the
problem.
