Thanks for the suggestions. I just tried, but it didn't help: saruman:~$ offlineimap -d imap -a merlins.org OfflineIMAP 7.2.3 Licensed under the GNU GPL v2 or any later version (with an OpenSSL exception) imaplib2 v2.57 (system), Python v2.7.15+, OpenSSL 1.1.1a 20 Nov 2018 Debug mode: Forcing to singlethreaded.
