Thanks for the help debugging this, James! I believe I have isolated the
problem.
I have attached a diff below, or you can download it from
http://git.complete.org/offlineimap?a=commitdiff_plain;h=db805043f2d3ccf59cb7d167cd917d178a16e540
I tried to document the situation in the commit log (which is included in the
diff). A small excerpt here:
looking at code for Gmail.py processmessagesflags, comments from Ricardo
indicate it was copied from the same function in folder/IMAP.py.
However, folder/IMAP.py has checks for this, added 2002-07-12 in
5342dacc & 817a10ce. Suspect that Gmail author believed those checks
superfluous for Gmail.
Riccardo, do you believe I've done the right thing here?
James, please apply this patch and run it for a bit and let me know if it
fixes your problem.
Thanks,
-- John
