Binary package hint: offlineimap

sometime in this past week or so, on oneiric offlineimap began to crash for me.

I modified /usr/share/pyshared/offlineimap/accounts.py.dist to raise the error rather than just logging it, and below is the trace.

Thread 'Account sync Canonical' terminated with exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/offlineimap/threadutil.py", line 149, in run

AttributeError: Unknown IMAP4 command: 'file'

I'm hesitant to attach other output because it has email addresses in it and such, but I see other warnings in offlineimap like:
WARNING: ERROR attempting to copy message 1655 for account Canonical:Unknown IMAP4 command: 'file'

WARNING: ERROR attempting to copy message 1656 for account Canonical:command: UID => unexpected response: 'Return-Path: <email address hidden>'

WARNING: ERROR attempting to copy message 1657 for account Canonical:command: UID => unexpected response: 'X-Original-To: <email address hidden>'
