[mew-int 3090] error in process filter: mew-imap-command-uid: Wrong type argument: stringp, o


I suddently got the message:

error in process filter: mew-imap-command-uid: Wrong type argument: stringp, o

when trying to update my IMAP inbox. I can't seem to get passed this
point. Is this a known problem with a known workaround?

In my *Messages* buffer I will see:

Setting up Mew world...
Updating status...done
Setting up Mew world...done
Connecting to the IMAP server...done
Communicating with the IMAP server...
error in process filter: mew-imap-command-uid: Wrong type argument: stringp, o
error in process filter: Wrong type argument: stringp, o

Also:

mew-version-number is "6.4.50"

Best regards

I don't know. Could you get a backtrace? Turn on debugging:

  M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET

and then trigger the problem. You should get a buffer called
*backtrace*. Copy its contents and post to the list.

To clean up, hit q in the *backtrace* buffer. Then turn debugging off
with the same method as above, only replacing t with nil.

I haven't upgraded to that version myself yet, so I may not be able to
help. But a backtrace may help others help you.

I upgraded to version 6.5, enabled tracing of the mew-imap-command-uid
function, and did "S" to sort the last few hundred messages --- and
now it seem to work again...
