Good news: what=E2=80=99s needed to add SSL certificate verification
support[1] to offlineimap will probably[2] enter Debian soon.

[2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D453101

In the meantime, it would be nice to have a FAQ explaining :
  - why offlineimap does not support this yet
  - how to workaround it (e.g. using stunnel between offlineimap and
    the IMAP server).

I might write such an FAQ entry one of these days.

Bye,
