using offline imap to transfer imap from one host to another

Hi,
I'm trying to use offlineimap to transfer from one imap
server to another.
So far I've managed to sync the first server to a local
tree, but I am
having a very hard time convincing it to sync to the new
imap server (gmail)

I've tried creating a new Repository entry in .offlineimaprc
 and changing
the existing Account,  I've tried making a new Account, I've
tried changing
the original Remote repository to point to the new server.

Any ideas?     Any other experiences transferring from a
remote imap server
to gmail's imap?   (I tried imapsync, it goes very very
slowly, and dies on
random messages)


Thanks,
Scott

What exactly is going wrong?

Note too that gmail's IMAP is apparently weird.

I'd start with a fresh Account with the remote repo pointing
to the new 
server.  You may also have a folder naming issue if Gmail
names folders 
differently than your old host.
