This particular error could only occur when some local status file gets
corrupted.
If you look in ~/.offlineimap/Account-(whatever)/LocalStatus, you should
see a file for each folder that is being synchronized. In there, each
file should have its first line be:
OFFLINEIMAP LocalStatus CACHE DATA - DO NOT MODIFY - FORMAT 1
The error you are getting indicates that the folder in question doesn't
have that in its first line.
I've never heard of this happening before, and frankly it would be very
difficult to duplicate it, as the code that does this looks like:
self.savelock.acquire()
try:
file = open(self.filename + ".tmp", "wt")
file.write(magicline + "\n")
So I'm curious about what actually is in that file, and the file for
apparently another folder. I can't think of much aside from a full disk
that could cause this.
