In the latest versions of offlineimap, you need to specify a
nametrans from local -> remote as well as remote -> local.

Here is the relevant part of my .offlineimaprc file:

[Account Gmail]
localrepository = LocalGmail
remoterepository = RemoteGmail
autorefresh = 5 
quick = -1
status_backend = sqlite

[Repository LocalGmail]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Maildir/Gmail
sep = . 
nametrans = lambda folder: re.sub('sent', '[Google Mail]/Sent Mail',
                           re.sub('starred', '[Google Mail]/Starred',
                           re.sub('drafts', '[Google Mail]/Drafts',
                           re.sub('bin', '[Google Mail]/Bin',
                           re.sub('spam', '[Google Mail]/Spam',
                           folder)))))

[Repository RemoteGmail]
type = Gmail
remoteuser = gavcos at gmail.com
remotepassfile = ~/.mutt/.gmail.cred
# preauthtunnel = ssh -q imaphost '/usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir'
nametrans = lambda folder: re.sub('^\[Google\ Mail\]\/Sent Mail', 'sent',
                           re.sub('^\[Google\ Mail\]\/Starred', 'starred',
                           re.sub('^\[Google\ Mail\]\/Drafts', 'drafts',
                           re.sub('^\[Google\ Mail\]\/Bin', 'bin',
                           re.sub('^\[Google\ Mail\]\/Spam', 'spam',
                           folder)))))
folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['^\[Google Mail\]\/Important', '^\[Google Mail\]\/All\ Mail']
cert_fingerprint = f3043dd689a2e7dddfbef82703a6c65ea9b634c1

You can run "offlineimap --info" to debug what translations would be
made with your config file.

Hope this helps,

Gavin.
