Another possibility would be to move to some other mail service
provider. I don't understand the details, but it seems gmail has started
to complicate for foss-project mua:s and mta:s [1].

But where you able to conclude something from deleting / deactivating
the mail app on your phone? In my case I have still not been able to
identify offlineimap as the culprit.
