-u specifies which user interface to use.  According to the manpage:

       -u interface
              Specifies an alternative user interface  module  to
              use.   This  overrides the default specified in the
              configuration file.  The UI specified with -u  will
              be  forced to be used, even if its isuable() method
              states that it cannot be.   Use  this  option  with
              care.

The offlineimap.conf file lists the options (I'll add these to the manpage
too):

# The pre-defined options are:
# Tk.TkUI -- A graphical interface
# TTY.TTYUI -- a text-based (terminal) interface
#
# You can override this with a command-line option -u.

ui = Tk.TkUI, TTY.TTYUI

Try apt-get install python2.2-tk, then re-run it and it should work for you.
