Thanks for the debug log, this really helps. Your error now doesn't look
like data corruption to me. Somewhere it fails to interprete an IMAP
response correctly trying to convert a 'null byte' to a "long()" number,
presumably a email UID.

You could try to blow the UIDVALIDITY file away (or move it out of the
way) for testing, it will just be recreated.

Unfortunately, the error reporting in 6.2. is so rough that I cannot
even see in which line it fails, so I would suggest you try a newer
version of offlineimap. The configuration/status files are compatible,
and it might give you better output.

Sorry for not having better information there
Sebastian
