Logs, error

On the IMAP server I have INBOX/chess.com folder and after few sync attempts (it failed for different reasons - I can provide logs if needed) I now have both ~/offlineimap/INBOX.chess and ~/offlineimap/INBOX.chess.com directories and both contain 3 empty directories (cur, new, tmp). On the IMAP server, offlineimap created empty INBOX/chess and INBOX/chess/com folders.

Did you configure the sep character on either repository section? This might help.
