Hi

Since this morning, I can't connect to gmail anymore. I always get the following error:

OfflineIMAP 6.5.5
  Licensed under the GNU GPL v2+ (v2 or any later version)

In thunderbird, using imap.googlemail, it works, but when I switch to imap.gmail.com, which offlineimap is using, it doesn't anymore.

Is there a way that I can easily switch to imap.googlemail.com instead, as  am using the repository type Gmail?

These two are different:

$ host imap.gmail.com
imap.gmail.com is an alias for gmail-imap.l.google.com.
gmail-imap.l.google.com has address 173.194.66.109
gmail-imap.l.google.com has address 173.194.66.108
gmail-imap.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:4008:c01::6c

$ host imap.googlemail.com
imap.googlemail.com is an alias for googlemail-imap.l.google.com.
googlemail-imap.l.google.com has address 173.194.66.16
googlemail-imap.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:4008:c01::10
