I do have the ?corrupted .msf file, but I don't want to post a load of personal emails to this site. Please let me know if it would help, and I can make other arrangements.

am having trouble replicating (in my jaunty beta system)

i've set up a test folder, filled it with junk, and synced it over and over while doing things - this informal stress test failed. I used the following imapsync command:

imapsync --host1 host1 --user1 myusername \
    --host2 imap.gmail.com --user2 <email address hidden> \
    --ssl1 -ssl2 \
    --regextrans2 's/(.*)/test$1/' \
    --noauthmd5

(with my passwords)

I found that the tail end of some emails was inserted into the beginning of the following ones. In addition, the following content had lots of escped characters, and other nonsense. The title of the email corresponded to different content. Note that the imapsync script never changes any gmail special folders, or the top level inbox.

guess I can't reproduce, but info here in case someone else does.
