Sorry, I did not understand: as I said in my first email, the problem
seems to be independent of offlineimap, it happens when gnus expires
mail between to dovecot instances (using IMAP).

But just in case, I'm using OfflineIMAP 6.5.6.

I think I'm doing the IMAP/IMAP thing already:

#+begin_src conf
[Account zimbra]
localrepository = LocalIMAP
remoterepository = RemoteIMAP
status_backend = sqlite
autorefresh = 5
postsynchook = ~/bin/clean_and_index_mail.sh

[Repository LocalIMAP]
type = IMAP
preauthtunnel = ~/bin/dovecot_bin/imap -c ~/.dovecotzimbra.rc

[Repository RemoteIMAP]
type = IMAP
remotehost = zimbra.*******
remoteuser = *********
remotepasseval = get_keychain_pass(account="********", server="zimbra.*******")
ssl = yes
#+end_src

Is this the way to go?

Thanks,

Alan
