offlineimap and local courier-imap

Hello, 
i want to use offlineimap with a local courier-imap server but have some
problems with the folder naming. I know the command from the documentation:

nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX\.*', '.', foldername)

But it doesn't work.

I get a lot of error messages like:
imap: imapsplit() called with input: (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX.foo.bar"
imap: imapsplit() returning: ['(\\HasNoChildren)', '"."', '"INBOX.foo.bar"']
imap: imapsplit() called with input: \HasNoChildren
imap: imapsplit() returning: ['\\HasNoChildren']
imap: dequote() called with input: "INBOX.foo.bar"
imap: dequote() returning: INBOX.foo.bar
imap: dequote() called with input: INBOX.foo.bar

I think the problem is that i have a deeper folder structures, but how
can i make offlineimap work with this structures?

Or can you recommend another imap-server who doesn't need the '.' in
front of every folder name?

Thanks

Are you saying that you are pointing offlineimap at the local IMAP
server, and having it communicate directly with it, or that you are
wanting OfflineIMAP to generate files with a compatible naming scheme?

Which server are these from?

until now i have tried to generate files with a compatible naming
scheme with offlineimap. As i understood this is the only way, or can
offlineimap communicate directly with the local imap-server?

This is my config:

[general]
accounts = fastmail
ui = Curses.Blinkenlights
maxsyncaccounts = 3

[Account fastmail]
localrepository = MailLocal
remoterepository = MailRemote

[Repository MailLocal]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Maildir
sep = /

[Repository MailRemote]
type = IMAP
ssl = yes
remotehost = mail.messagingengine.com
remoteuser = xxx

Yes, OfflineIMAP can talk to an IMAP server on both ends.  That may be
the easiest for you.

[general]
accounts = fastmail
ui = Curses.Blinkenlights
maxsyncaccounts = 3

[Account fastmail]
localrepository = MailLocal
remoterepository = MailRemote

[Repository MailLocal]
type = IMAP
remotehost = 127.0.0.1
remoteuser = xxx
remotepass = xxx

[Repository MailRemote]
type = IMAP
ssl = yes
remotehost = mail.messagingengine.com
remoteuser = xxx

problem with multiple accounts

I'm trying to use offlineimap with 2 different imap servers at the same time, my work email and my personal email.

here's my .offlineimaprc. my plan was to have it use both the ticketmaster and
desertsol  accounts when I'm at work or on the vpn, and just desertsol
otherwise. but when I use the 'accounts' line with 2 accounts, it only prompts
me for the password for the ticketmaster account. what am I missing?

I'm using the ubuntu package of offlineimap 4.0.10ubuntu1.

[general]
#accounts = ticketmaster, desertsol
accounts = desertsol

[Account ticketmaster]
localrepository = tm_maildir
remoterepository = tm_imap
autorefresh = 1.5

[Repository tm_maildir]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/tm_maildir

[Repository tm_imap]
type = IMAP
remotehost = lamail2.office.tmcs
remoteuser = "kevin geiss"

[Account desertsol]
localrepository = ds_maildir
remoterepository = ds_imap
