Upon upgrade from 12.04 to quantal, my offlineimap configuration broke, showing messages like:
| *** Processing account Gmail
| INFO:OfflineImap:*** Processing account Gmailu
| Establishing connection to imap.gmail.com:993
| INFO:OfflineImap:Establishing connection to imap.gmail.com:993
| ERROR: Server SSL fingerprint 'f3043dd689a2e7dddfbef82703a6c65ea9b634c1'
| for hostname 'imap.gmail.com' does not match configured fingerprint.
| Please verify and set 'cert_fingerprint' accordingly if not set yet.
| INFO:OfflineImap:ERROR: Server SSL fingerprint 'f3043dd689a2e7dddfbef82703a6c65ea9b634c1'

The fix is for the user to add an entry for 'cert_fingerprint' in the same spot as 'ssl = yes' (which is automatic if 'type = Gmail').
Ie add:
cert_fingerprint = f3043dd689a2e7dddfbef82703a6c65ea9b634c1
So that your Repository entry looks something like:
| [Repository GmailRemote]
| type = Gmail
| # ssl = yes # this is default for gmail
| cert_fingerprint = f3043dd689a2e7dddfbef82703a6c65ea9b634c1
| remoteuser = <email address hidden>

There is some discussion at http:// comments. gmane.org/ gmane.mail. imap.offlineima p.general/ 5654 about possibly using system certificates to make such manual configuration unnecessary.
