Most probably this file is corrupted:

~/.offlineimap/Repository-IMAPLocalUsername/UIDMapping/INBOX.Sent

It should be one entry in the form of "number:number" per line and when
reading this file, it got more than 2 entries. So either it lacks some
newline somewhere or it actually got 2 ":" in one line somehow.

Sebastian: 

I went through visually and could not find the bad line, but there are over 47,000 lines in the 549K size file, and the UID's go up to 66,390... so I could've missed it..  it's very tedious trying to find the error manually.

It would be really cool if offlineimap would print the line number -- 
and also the contents of the line -- where it ran into this error doing 
the split on the ':' in the UIDMapping file....
