Package: offlineimap
Version: 6.0.3
Severity: normal
offlineimap seems to truncate the mailboxes file (mbnames) while it
runs and then fails to populate it properly if the run does not
complete. If that happens, then the file only contains the "#
generated by offlineimap" comment, followed by an empty line.
It might be better to leave the file alone until offlineimap got the
list of mailboxes from the server, then to rewrite it once right at
the start.

Mutt still needs mbnames. I don't consider this a flaw.

I have not seen this in a couple of weeks. Maybe it was magically
fixed? ;)
(maybe the ctrl-c fix?)
Let's close it.
