I finally got it right. In case someone stumbles on the same problem:
I was using
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/email/Maildir/Free
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in the local repository setting of .offlineimaprc
and
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(nnimap-shell-program "/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/email/Maildir/Gmail:LAYOUT=fs")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
so I guess that offlineimap was writing the INBOX messages in an actual
INBOX folder, whereas dovecot was expecting them at the root of the
Maildir.
Changing the .offlineimaprc setting to:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
type = IMAP
preauthtunnel = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/email/Maildir/Free:LAYOUT=fs
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
fixed it. Now only dovecot is writing messages in the Maildir, at least
that's my understanding.
Julien.
