Is there any hope of this bug getting fixed?  I just started getting this 
error today, and I'm using offlineimap to simply download mail from my IMAP 
server, not for "IMAP-to-IMAP sync".  It will be a big hassle if I need to 
delete all my local folders and then re-download several gigabytes of email. 
Aside from fixing the bug, isn't there some way to find & delete just the 
corrupt file/message?

Thanks,
