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!

it works!

thank you very much! i had some emails strangely dating from 1970 as well, and when i've removed them from the folder and from the ids.txt, everything worked out!

Worked for me too

Deleted the 1970 1kb emails and records in ids.txt and all is now running smoothly. Thanks.
