Apparently, it attempts to delete messages on synchronization (I have this error for all special folders). I use it for backup purpose, it should not even try to write/delete messages.
Deleting 8 messages (32921:32928) in IMAP[Sent]
Attempted to modify flags for messages [32921, 32922, 32923, 32924, 32925, 32926, 32927, 32928] in folder IMAP[Sent], but that folder is read-only. No flags have been modified for that message.

Steps to reproduce the error
I just run offlineimap -c offlineimaprc. It did not happen until recently (maybe there was an upgrade to 8.0.0)?
