+If you are using offlineimap on leopard, on an imap connection with ssl (like GMail) and it keep crashing because of the following error:
+
+```sh
+File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/offlineimap/imaplibutil.py", line 70, in _read
+return self.sslsock.read(n)
+MemoryError
+```
+
+you can fix it with this fix:
+
+```sh
+sudo vim /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/offlineimap/imaplibutil.py +70
+```
+
+then, comment line 70 and add this line
+
+```python
+return self.sslsock.read(min(n, 16384))
+#return self.sslsock.read(n)
+```
+
