Hi. I am just adding some information, as I was perusing the offlineimap mailing list and found a reference to this e-mail of mine.

For the record, one of the things that I've seen that sets a gmail chat apart from others is some kind of marking with the headers: X-Google-Chat-Start: <timestamp> X-Google-Chat-End: <timestamp> X-Google-Chat-With: <gmail account name> Once I removed those from an offending message, I could reupload the messages to gmail. Perhaps for users that know what they are doing we could have a dangerous option to the repository settings like: mangle_my_gmail_chat_logs = "I know what I am doing" This is an admitted kludge, but a middle ground workaround for a non-standard IMAP system that is gmail in the first place...
