getting offlineimap working

I'm trying figure out offlineimap but I'm having trouble getting offlineimap working in the first place.  Here is my .offlineimaprc:

[general]
accounts = gmail
ui = Curses.Blinkenlights  

[Account gmail]
localrepository = mylocal  
remoterepository = myremote
autorefresh = 5

[Repository mylocal]
type = Maildir 
localfolders = ~/Mail 

[Repository myremote]
type = IMAP 
remotehost = imap.gmail.com 
ssl = yes
remoteport = 465
remoteuser = <my gmail account> 
remotepass = <my gmail password>

Here is the error I'm getting:

Thread 'Account sync gmail' terminated with exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/offlineimap/threadutil.py", line 153, in run

    imapobj = self.imapserver.acquireconnection()

    imapobj = UsefulIMAP4_SSL(self.hostname, self.port)

    IMAP4.__init__(self, host, port)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/imaplib.py", line 184, in __init__
    self.welcome = self._get_response()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/imaplib.py", line 931, in _get_response
    raise self.abort("unexpected response: '%s'" % resp)
abort: unexpected response: '220 mx.google.com ESMTP c12sm7800019nzc'

Last 1 debug messages logged for Account sync gmail prior to exception:
maildir: MaildirRepository initialized, sep is '.'

Thanks for any help you can give me in figuring this out.

Re: getting offlineimap working

remoteport = 465

Well...

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/imaplib.py", line 931, in _get_response
    raise self.abort("unexpected response: '%s'" % resp)
abort: unexpected response: '220 mx.google.com ESMTP c12sm7800019nzc'

...port 465 is for SMTP over SSL and has little to do with IMAP. Try 993 instead.
