Thanks for the log and traceback. The crash you are seeing is because,
you have a corrupt mapping file that translates the UIDS between the
remote and the local IMAP servers.

That file should be in
~/.offlineimap/Repository-LocalFoo/UIDMapping/INBOX

Check if that has any null byte or looks otherwise corrupt (not in
number:number format).

There is barely any error checking or correction in that are of code :-(.


Sorry to be not of more help.
