Summary     : Powerful IMAP/Maildir synchronization and reader support

Description : OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify your e-mail reading. With
            : OfflineIMAP, you can read the same mailbox from multiple
            : computers.  You get a current copy of your messages on each
            : computer, and changes you make one place will be visible on all
            : other systems. For instance, you can delete a message on your home
            : computer, and it will appear deleted on your work computer as
            : well. OfflineIMAP is also useful if you want to use a mail reader
            : that does not have IMAP support, has poor IMAP support, or does
            : not provide disconnected operation.

And, lo and behold, every time I run offlineimap and try to redirect output in a crontab, it does not work. Below is my .offlineimaprc.

[general]
ui = TTY.TTYUI
accounts = Personal, Work
maxsyncaccounts = 3

[Account Personal]
localrepository = Local.Personal
remoterepository = Remote.Personal

[Account Work]
localrepository = Local.Work
remoterepository = Remote.Work

[Repository Local.Personal]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/mail/gmail

[Repository Local.Work]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/mail/companymail

[Repository Remote.Personal]
type = IMAP
remotehost = imap.gmail.com
remoteuser = [email protected]
remotepass = password
ssl = yes
maxconnections = 4 

# Otherwise "deleting" a message will just remove any labels and 
# retain the message in the All Mail folder.
realdelete = no

[Repository Remote.Work]
type = IMAP
remotehost = server.company.tld
remoteuser = username
remotepass = password
ssl = yes
maxconnections = 4 

I have tried TTY.TTYUI, NonInteractive.Quiet and NonInteractive.Basic with different variations. With or without redirection, the crontab entries I try cause problems.

$ crontab -l | awk ' { print F "> " $0; print ""; }'
*/5 * * * * offlineimap >> ~/mail/logs/offlineimap.log 2>&1
*/5 * * * * offlineimap

I always get the same damn error ERROR: No UIs were found usable!. What am I doing wrong!?
