using '--info' command line option and 'ui = xxx' in config file

[heavytull]

General informations

• offlineimap version (offlineimap -V): 6.7.0
• Python version: 2.7
• server name or domain: gmail.com
• CLI options: ???

Configuration file offlineimaprc

ui = ttyui | Blinkenlights | ...

using '--info' command line option seems to overhide the 'ui = ...' setting in the config file.
when running offllineimap with '--info' it doesn't prompt for a password. Below is the output. When not using '--info' offlineimap prompts for my password after the XOAUTH2 error. The most interesting part is at the bottom of the output.
