@rom1v

Description

@rom1v

General informations

  • system/distribution (with version): Debian sid
  • offlineimap version (offlineimap -V): 8.0.0
  • Python version: 3.11.9
  • server name or domain: my own domain
  • CLI options: offlineimap -c offlineimaprc

Configuration file offlineimaprc

[general]
accounts = XXXXX

[Account XXXXX]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = /my/backup/folder

[Repository Remote]
type = IMAP
remotehost = ...
remoteuser = ...
remotepassfile = ...
ssl = yes
cert_fingerprint = ...

Logs, error

 ERROR: Creating folder ml on repository Remote
  Folder 'ml'[Remote] could not be created. Server responded: ('NO', [b'This connection is configured for read-only access'])
 ERROR: Folder 'ml'[Remote] could not be created. Server responded: ('NO', [b'This connection is configured for read-only access'])

A synchronization from remote to local should never attempt to write to the remote.

Steps to reproduce the error

I just run offlineimap -c offlineimaprc.

Maybe similar to my other issue #730.
