Upon furthur investigation this bug was likely caused by sending a 'killall' or SIGTERM trojita

Deleting the file ~/.cache/flaska.net/trojita/imap.cache.sqlite
resolved the issue.

Just FYI, this message means that Trojita's understanding of the synchronization process diverged from your server's. It should either recover itself upon a reconnect, or it might require removing the IMAP cache as you did.

It should only ever happen if either the IMAP server or Trojita does not fully conform to the IMAP standard. My bet here is on Trojita's conformance :), but i'm sorry that it required a manual fixup from you.
