offlineimap on osx

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

If you are using offlineimap on leopard, on an imap connection with ssl (like gmail) and it keep crashing because of the following error:

  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/offlineimap/imaplibutil.py", line 70, in _read
    return self.sslsock.read(n)
MemoryError

you can fix it with this fix:

sudo vim /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/offlineimap/imaplibutil.py +70

then, comment line 70 and add this line

        return self.sslsock.read(min(n, 16384))
        #return self.sslsock.read(n)

you can read a description of the bug here.
