Here have a patch!
This obviously will break connecting to hosts which use a self-signed
certificate.
Perhaps some one else can fix this when they want it fixed ;) ?
I tested using the following config:
# Sample minimal config file. Copy this to ~/.offlineimaprc and edit to
# suit to get started fast.
[general]
accounts = Test
[Account Test]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote
[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Test
[Repository Remote]
type = IMAP
ssl = yes
remotehost = imap.gmail.com # this should work
#remotehost = 74.125.39.109 # this should fail
#remotehost = $putselfsignedserveraddresshere #this should fail
remoteuser = jgoerzen
For these hosts (listed here) the expected outcome matched the actual
outcome when I tried offlineimap.
