Well it was a bit unclear but there's a patch for offlineimap attached
to Guido's message:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=support-GSSAPI-via-pykerberos.diff;att=1;bug=359213

I've tried it out and it works great! Except that if the Kerberos
layer throws an exception it wouldn't fail over to plain
authentication properly. Attached is a slightly reworked patch that I
tested it in the following situations:

1. python-kerberos uninstalled, with kerberos credentials.
   Prompted for password authentication as expected.

2. python-kerberos installed, with kerberos credentials.
   Keberos authentication was successful and my mail was fetched
   without password prompting. Yeehaw!

3. python-kerberos installed, with no kerberos credentials.
   Prompted for    password authentication     as expected.

I think those are all the interesting situations. So I think this is
ready to go in, with a Suggest on python-kerberos (>=
1.0+mk080218-1).
