<DKIM> cygwin error LocalStatus.py

[Sander Boer]

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for replying,

My offlineimap version is 6.5.5

Indeed <cache_path>/Account-<AccountName>/LocalStatus files in the 
failing folders are borked, like total garbage.

Contents of ~/.offlineimap/Account-Mauc/LocalStatus/INBOX.Spam-info :

  "
^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
"

How can I sanitize the LocalStatus ? If I just delete the files in 
LocalStatus, would that burn the house down ?

thx.
S
