Please help crash: null byte in argument for long()

[chris coleman]

Sebastian, 

You are right!!
That file ~/.offlineimap/Repository-LocalFoo/UIDMapping/INBOX contains corrupt 
data :

61410:213738
61412:213740
61413:213741
61414     P      
61416:213744
61417:213745

I looked for IDs inside mail reader software, but the numbers are very 
different... they go from 1 - 19000

The question: how does one manually retrieve the missing UID which corresponds 
to UID 61414 ??

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.
Sebastian
