Setting MaxPushedUid to 0 worked.

My disk is encrypted. I think this means that a single flipped bit should have had a bigger effect. After all, the number was wrong but not far off. Also, I can't remember having opened that file in an editor, so an editor mishap also seems unlikely. I access the IMAP account with mbsync but also with my iPhone. Is it possible that Apple's mail app messed something up in the remote mailbox and that mbsync got confused by that? Titus
