KDE version is KDE4.x, offlineimap is 6.1.2, Disto is ArchLinux and this is what I’ve done:
Setup of .offlineimaprc:

[general]
metadata = ~/.offlineimap
accounts = martin

[Account martin]
localrepository = martin_local
remoterepository = martin_remote

[Repository martin_local]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/Dokumente/MailBackup/MartinAtSchmart
sep = /

[Repository martin_remote]
type = IMAP
remotehost =
remoteuser =
remotepass =
maxconnections = 1

Run offlineimap.
Then:

  1. Create a folder named “Backup” in KMail/Local Folders
  2. go to ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail and create a symlink to ~/Dokumente/MailBackup/MartinAtSchmart with the name .Backup.directory
  3. Restart KMail

Now the mails should be accessible via the “Backup”-folder. If not try to rebuild the index (right-click on the folder name).
