For Gmail, you probably want to just grab the 'All Mail' folder. All your mail
goes there (imagine that!), so tracking INBOX is unnecessary. Especially since
sup will complain if you ever clear out the inbox.
To get around the URI problem, I use `nametrans` in ~/.offlineimaprc to clean up
the folder names:
nametrans = lambda s: s.replace('[','').replace(']','').replace(' ', '_')
In English, remove brackets and turn spaces into underscores.
