Always compare more sources as offlineimap is changed a lot recently.

You have to use nametrans both in the local and remote repository.
Look at this howto:

But you can do this later. I'd rather just disable this option for the
moment.

Try:
$ offlineimap --info

and post the output.

Many thanks for your input here.

I tried running offlineimap --info but it did not recognise this command. I ran offlineimap -help and there was a debug option which I tried running:

mikef@rhinoceros:~$ offlineimap -d

Usage: offlineimap [options]

offlineimap: error: -d option requires an argument

mikef@rhinoceros:~$ offlineimap -d type1

Account sync mikefGmail:

It says that it copied the folder structure from Gmail to Maildir but the folder is still empty.

mikef@rhinoceros:~$ offlineimap

OfflineIMAP 6.3.4

I edited the config file and changed local type = Maildir to type = GmailMaildir.

When I ran it then it crashed :

Exception: 'GmailMaildir' repository not supported for local repositories.

It does not recognise the term GmailMaildir apparently.

Any other suggestions you have are most welcome.
