Hello,
While trying to run offlineimap to sync my Gmail, I am getting
Account sync Gmail:
> *** Processing account Gmail
> Establishing connection to imap.gmail.com:993
> ERROR: While attempting to sync account 'Gmail'
> [Errno 101] Network is unreachable
> *** Finished account 'Gmail' in 0:42
> Next refresh in 5.0 minutes
I checked my internet connection. It is working fine. I can access
web through firefox and install package using terminal. kindly point me
where I made mistake.
My ~/.offlineimaprc configuration looks like this -
[general]
accounts = Gmail
ui = ttyui
#maxsyncaccounts = 1
#socktimeout = 60
[Account Gmail]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote
status_backend = sqlite
#Refresh after every 5 minutes.
autorefresh = 5
[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Mail/Gmail
[Repository Remote]
type = Gmail
remotehost = imap.gmail.com
remoteuser = <MYEMAIL>@gmail.com
remotepass = <MYPASSWORD>
remoteport = 993
ssl = yes
sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
maxconnections = 2
*Thanks and Regards,*
