python - ca-certificates Mac OS X

Question

I need to install offlineimap and mu4e on emacs. Problem is configuration. When I run offlineimap I get :

OfflineIMAP 6.5.5

Thread 'Account sync Gmail' terminated with exception:

This is my .offlineimaprc

[general]
accounts = Gmail
maxsyncaccounts = 1
pythonfile = ~/.offlineimap.py

[Account Gmail]
localrepository = Local
remoterepository = Remote

[Repository Local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Maildir

[Repository Remote]
type = Gmail
remoteuser = [email protected]
remotepasseval = get_password_emacs("imap.gmail.com", "[email protected]", "993")
realdelete = no

folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in ['[Gmail]/Spam', '[Gmail]/All Mail',    '[Gmail]/Starred', '[Gmail]/Important']

holdconnectionopen = true
keepalive = 60
sslcacertfile = /usr/share/curl/ca-bundle.crt.original #??

There is a problem with python install and one with the CA certificate. Point is there no any curl-ca-bundle brew package. I there any other way to install a certificate ?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem (on MacOS 10.10.2, openssl 1.0.2 and offlineimap 6.5.5 both from homebrew) and couldn't get the dummy certificate solution to work. However, I found a certfile that makes offlineimap stop complaining in /usr/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem (which is put there during the installation of openssl through homebrew, brew info openssl tells me). Caveat: I don't know whether this is a good or safe way to do this.
