I think it's in INBOX : the UIDMapping for facebook doesn't go to such
high numbers as 5281. The fact that it displays "syncing facebook" just
before bugging out is probably due to threading (I have maxconnections=2)

The problem is not limited to a particular folder : I get it whenever I
get new mail. I deleted one of the lines responsible for a crash, but
it still keeps crashing.

Is there any way to get out of this, or do I need to "reset" the sync?
More importantly, any idea how this happened?
