Because I also want to achieve that every folder is saved with a dot at the
beginning, I am using the same configuration. Unfortunately, newly created
folders are not uploaded to the server. On the following page 

   
http://docs.offlineimap.org/en/latest/nametrans.html#where-to-put-nametrans-rules-on-the-remote-and-or-local-repository

it is said that it is also important to have a nametrans for uploading.
Otherwise offlineimap would not upload newly created folder. Hence, I added
the following lines

def dovecot_nametrans_local ( foldername ):
    if foldername == '.' :
        return 'INBOX'
    else :
        return foldername

and also added

nametrans = dovecot_nametrans_local

under the definition of my local repository. Nevertheless, a newly created
folder is not uploaded.

Does anybody know how to solve this issue? Any help is appreciated.
