(I hope this is no dupe, as my first try to post this message seems to=20
have failed silently.)

Hi!

I'm currently trying to migrate a rather large IMAP mailbox from one
computer to another. Unfortunately I seem to be doing something wrong as =
I
do not get very far with that.

offlineimap happily starts to sync the boxes until it suddenly bails out
with an Assertion Error. As Google did not reveal anything which looked
even remotely related I'm just attaching my config file and a stack trace=
,
hapoing that someone could shed some light on my configuration / setup
problem or whatever causes these problems.

I started using offlineimap 4.0.8 from Debian Sarge. The mails are in a
maildir on the machine offlineimap runs on; I need to migrate this mailbo=
x
collection to a remote IMAP server.
As offlineimap did not upload the local folders when I configured the=20
local repository as my maildir - it just downloaded existing folders from=
=20
the remote site - I reconfigured offlineimap to use the local IMAP server=
=20
as the "remote" site and the remote (empty) server to be the "local"=20
site.

The local "remote" server is a Dovecot IMAPd 1.0beta5, the remote server =
a
Cyrus 2.2.12.

When the sync aaborted in the middle of uploading messages I updatet
offlineimap using the Python files from offlineimap 4.0.14 in Debian Etch
(which interestingly greets with the version string "4.0.13".) but this
version bailed out with exactly the same error.

I hope someone can help me with this crash. :-)

Greetings,

=A0 Gunter
