yes, I confirm fix -- I don't see the problem anymore. If the underlying cause is not completely understood, yet so few people saw problem, I have a guess why: I'm using multiple mailservers (gmail + another IMAP server). Perhaps bug only appears when multiple servers are configured?
If anyone who was affected is did *not* have multiple mail servers configured, please respond to shoot down this hypothesis! I've been annoyed that two competing "Enter master password to unlock mailserver passwords" dialogs appear on startup, and this suggests there might be an architectural problem in common: some other instance of two competing threads trying to process what should be a common object (the couchdb session), and one failing.
