The crash you are seeing is because,<br>> you have a corrupt mapping file that translates the UIDS between the<br>> remote and the local IMAP servers.<br><br>So, it would be nice to prevent us to crash from that kind of<br>corruption. I think it worth implementing a warning or something if<br>internal data in general is corrupted.<br><br>-- <br>Nicolas Sebrecht<br></div></div>
