I found the original problem, but removing the state file and running "mbsync
--verbose --push gmail" did push the messages back to the server. Thank you
for that one.
The original problem was entirely my fault. After offlineimap stopped working
on my machine, I switched to mbsync, but didn't change the directory. I just
pointed mbsync to the old directory. I don't know how exactly, but after I got
everything back on the server, I started over with a new directory, and now
it's working fine.
Thanks for your help.
