Description

When trying to solve issue 99 remote and local got out of sync and this
caused offlineimap to go into an infinite loop. The situation was like

- I had Maildir locally, and emptied a folder

- I ran into issue 99 when syncing

- offlineimap, in the ".offlineimap/Account-<account>/LocalStatus/<myfoldername>,

   thought all the emails to delete were still there

- I checked the remote server, the IMAP file for that folder had no mails

- Running offlineimap gave endlessly repeated lines like
Base.py(199):         for uid in uidlist:

Base.py(200):             self.deletemessage(uid)

threadutil.py(115):         try:

threadutil.py(116):             thrd = exitthreads.get(False)

threadutil.py(118):         except Empty:

threadutil.py(119):             time.sleep(1)

threadutil.py(115):         try:

threadutil.py(116):             thrd = exitthreads.get(False)

threadutil.py(118):         except Empty:

threadutil.py(119):             time.sleep(1)

I don't understand what you mean by "got out of sync".

How many messages were involved?
