I am setting up offlineimap for use with Mutt and following the wiki here. I added the appropriate commands to ~/.offlineimaprc and created /etc/systemd/system/offlineimap@.service as specified in the article. From there, I type
sudo systemctl start offlineimap@.service
and get
Failed to start offlineimap@.service: Unit name offlineimap@.service is not valid.
Can you help me correctly enable offlineimap as a background task? Thanks.

Thanks. I probably should have mentioned that was where I got the systemctl command so I am still at a bit of a loss. I'll start looking at the systemd for administrators series here but any additional pointers would be appreciated.

See the last line of the note:
Also, if a template unit is called without an instance identifier, it will just fail, since the %i specifier cannot be substituted.
According to the service file you are using, you want the %i to expand to your $user, so call the template with `systemctl enable offlineimap@esquire70.service`...

That worked great. Thank you so much for your assistance.
