[offlineimap] Error MEssage: Folder 'junk'[Remote] could not be created. (#256)

[rmporsch]

I get the following error messages after I do the following steps:

1. Initial sync with my gmail account works fine (e.i. the initial set-up). All messages are correctly downloaded
2. repeated sync results in the following error:

```

```

I do not know why it does not receive the information that the junk folder is already present.

Maybe my setup is wrong. Just do not see how:
here my offlineimaprc:

```
[general]
accounts = mail
# ui = quiet

[Account hku]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/.mutt/offlineimap/mail/

[Repository Remote]
#type = IMAP
type = Gmail
remoteuser = mail at mail.com
remotepass = secret
nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub ('^\[gmail\]', 'bak',
                               re.sub ('sent_mail', 'sent',
                               re.sub ('starred', 'flagged',
                               re.sub (' ', '_', foldername.lower()))))
folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in '[Gmail]/All Mail'

# Necessary as of OfflineIMAP 6.5.4
ssl= yes
sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
```

I use offlineimap `6.5.7`
