+If you are using offlineimap on leopard, on an imap connection with ssl (like gmail) and it keep crashing because of the following error:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/offlineimap/imaplibutil.py", line 70, in _read
+return self.sslsock.read(n)
+MemoryError
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+you can fix it with this fix:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+sudo vim /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/offlineimap/imaplibutil.py +70
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+then, comment line 70 and add this line
+
+{% highlight python %}
+return self.sslsock.read(min(n, 16384))
+#return self.sslsock.read(n)
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+you can read a description of the bug <a href="http://bugs.python.org/issue1389051">here</a>.
