Check out Greg's post here: http://blog.grossmeier.net/2009/01/25/imapfilterofflineimapmsmtpmuttabook/

It's a really good summary and he has a sample .offlineimaprc for Gmail. His has a much different RepositoryRemote section

[Repository RemoteGmail]
type = IMAP
remotehost = imap.gmail.com
remoteuser = $user@gmail.com
remotepass = yep
ssl = yes

It looks like there is a bug in the way either Gmail or whatever offlineimap uses (OpenSSL I assume?) implements SSL?

This is a bug in python/urlib[2] there are some fixes in python2.6/2.7 but apps need to be ported as well.

EDIT

except that I'm wrong. It uses python ssl module, which uses OpenSSL.
