Error when restoring

Hey there,

I had the same error while trying to restore, but made a random stab in the dark and got it to work.

I don't know if this is what fixed it, but I looked at the backed-up emails and saw there were a few emails that weirdly had 1970 as the date - several (but not all) of them were 1 byte large. I deleted all of these 1970s emails, and removed all lines mentioning them from ids.txt and labels.txt, and then when I tried again... it worked!

Again, I can't be certain this is what fixed it, maybe I got lucky and it was just trying again that made it work. But hopefully this helps someone.

Good luck!
