Hi,
I'll see what I can do. I've enabled logging for my get-mail icon, and
I've added an alert message when the sync was not successful.
But the error only seems to occur under certain conditions when Mails
were read on both the client and the server I havn't really nailed down
yet. So far I've been unable to reproduce them 'on demand'.
They usually occur when I for some reason can't use offlineimap for some
time and have to read my mails on the server (e.g. with the recent
b0rkage of offlineimap); however deliberately doing so didn't trigger
it. Nor did half a day of reading my mails on the server while being at
the university; it still synched fine afterwards.
You should IMHO still add some proper error handling for the situation
when that function returns None (e.g. when the IMAP server for whatever
reason doesn't return a message). The "type error" is a pretty ugly way
of failing in such a situation.
best regards,
Erich Schubert
