Many thanks for your input here.
I tried running offlineimap --info but it did not recognise this command.
I ran offlineimap -help and there was a debug option which I tried running:
mikef@rhinoceros:~$ offlineimap -d
Usage: offlineimap [options]
offlineimap: error: -d option requires an argument
mikef@rhinoceros:~$ offlineimap -d type1

It says that it copied the folder structure from Gmail to Maildir but the
folder is still empty.
mikef@rhinoceros:~$ offlineimap

I edited the config file and changed local type = Maildir to type =
GmailMaildir.
When I ran it then it crashed :
Exception: 'GmailMaildir' repository not supported for local repositories.
It does not recognise the term GmailMaildir apparently.
Any other suggestions you have are most welcome.
