Your error now doesn't look<br>like data corruption to me. Somewhere it fails to interprete an IMAP<br>response correctly trying to convert a 'null byte' to a "long()" number,<br>presumably a email UID.<br><br>You could try to blow the UIDVALIDITY file away (or move it out of the<br>way) for testing, it will just be recreated.<br><br>Unfortunately, the error reporting in 6.2. is so rough that I cannot<br>even see in which line it fails, so I would suggest you try a newer<br>version of offlineimap. The configuration/status
files are compatible,<br>and it might give you better output.<br><br>Sorry for not having better information there<br>Sebastian<br></div></div>
