Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Incidentally, I used 'offlineimap' for several years, and one day it
stopped working for me with an inscrutible error ("invalid literal for
int() with base 10: ''") , and I was never able to get it working again.

I eventually switched to 'mbsync' from the 'isync' package, and it has
been working very well for my purposes.

      Thanks,
        Mark
