'EOF occurred in violation of protocol' error

[CB <cb.lists@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been successfully using OffiineIMAP since Gmail supported IMAP.
But over the last couple of days it's been generating an error. I've
pasted the offlineIMAP output below. Any ideas on what might be going
wrong?

Also -- is there a searchable archive of this mailing list somewhere?
I would have liked to check whether or not anyone else has come across
this before posting.

Cheers,

CB.
