I am using Debian 12 GNU/Linux operating system. I would like to set up two mailboxes in OfflineIMAP: Gmail and STCable. The contents of my offlineimaprc file are:

[general]
accounts = gmailfiokom,stcablefiokom
maxsyncaccounts = 1

Gmail


[Account gmailfiokom]
localrepository = gmailhelyben
remoterepository = gmailtavol


[Repository gmailhelyben]
type = GmailMaildir
localfolders = /home/$USER/mail/csanyipal@gmail.com


[Repository gmailtavol]
type = Gmail
maxconnections = 1
remotehost = imap.gmail.com
remoteuser = csanyipal@gmail.com
remotepass = ****************
ssl = yes
sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt


STCable


[Account stcablefiokom]
localrepository = stcablehelyben
remoterepository = stcabletavol


[Repository stcablehelyben]
type = Maildir
localfolders = /home/$USER/mail/csanyipal@stcable.net


[Repository stcabletavol]
type = IMAP
starttls = yes
auth_mechanisms = LOGIN
maxconnections = 1
remotehost = imap.stcable.net
remoteuser = csanyipal@stcable.net
remotepass = ****************
ssl = yes
sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

When I run the offlineimap --dry-run command, the output is this:

OfflineIMAP 8.0.0

  File "/usr/share/offlineimap3/offlineimap/imapserver.py", line 663,

    raise OfflineImapError(reason, severity, exc_info()[2])

So OfflineIMAP works with my GMail account, but not with my STCable account. The output of the offlineimap --dry-run command shows some information about the STCAble server; perhaps this information will help me when setting up OfflineIMAP? What would be the OfflineIMAP settings for my STCable account?

Any advices will be appreciated!
