Package: offlineimap
Version: 6.5.3.1-2
Severity: serious
After upgrade to 6.5.3.x from 6.3.4, offlineimap stopped working for me due to
the following error:
*** Processing account Upsilon
Establishing connection to upsilon.<censor>:993
Creating folder .[UpsilonImaps]
ERROR: Creating folder on repository UpsilonImaps
Folder '.'[UpsilonImaps] could not be created. Server responded: ('NO',
['Empty mailbox name.'])
ERROR: Folder '.'[UpsilonImaps] could not be created. Server responded: ('NO',
['Empty mailbox name.'])
*** Finished account 'Upsilon' in 0:02
It seems to be related to the new capability, properly advertised in
NEWS.Debian, of creating folders on the remote side. However, I don't have any
"nametrans" setting in my OfflineIMAP configuration so I don't see how the rest
of that NEWS.Debian item applies to my case.
The error seems related to some error in the default mapping between local and
remote mailbox names, as I obviously don't have any mailbox called "" (empty
string).
Reverting to 6.3.4-1 worked around the problem.
Let me know how can I help in debugging this issue further.
Cheers.
PS Setting severity to 'serious' as it makes offlineimap completely unusable in
my case and would break upgrades to Wheezy. Feel free to reduce the severity
if you have reasons to believe my case is somehow special.
