OfflineImap doesn't sync files

Hey,

I got this error when trying to use offlineimap for the first time.
The configuration file (and the error) is attached:
.offlineimaprc:

[general]
accounts = Test

[Account Test]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Test

[Repository Remote]
type = IMAP
remotehost = imap.gmail.com
remoteuser = <my user>@gmail.com
remotepass = <mypass>
ssl = yes

The error message:

hread 'Account sync Test' terminated with exception:

Re: OfflineImap doesn't sync files

I had these kinds of errors mostly when starting offlineimap for the first time, because it always had some problems when it came to create nested folder structures. I don't know which version you are using but the newest version 5.99.15 was released just two days ago and looking at the commit logs it seems to have fixed problem related to the creation of folders.
So if you're not using the lates version try using that one and see if that fixes your problem.

The other thing is that the path offlineimap tries to create a folder containing brackets, i.e. [Gmail]. I don't know if those get handled correctly of if they are the cause of your error.
You also might want to take a look at the commented config file for imap. There is a section related to gmail, so perhaps you should try using some other settings when using gmail. I sadly can't really help with the gmail stuff as I don't use it.
