odir=$HOME/.var/offlineimap/logs
logfile=$odir/$(date +"20%y%m%d:%H%M%s")

Steps to reproduce the error

• My BTRFS partition ran out of space today
• invocation of offlineimap started to crash with

sqlite3 traceback etc

but I was "blind" -- I simply have not mentioned it, reran again (may be have gained some free space since then), and then mentioned that some emails lack any body and for some offlineimap invocation, or seems more exactly - notmuch indexer, says smth like

the question really is -- would it be possible to force refetch of all /new mail somehow?? I think that should address the issue at large (get me the mails body etc)

edit 1: or some other way to refetch some mail, e.g. by providing Message-Ids or smth like that... I would need to figure out though which emails are "bad" locally first :-/
