* have you tried to synchronize *one single* mail folder only? Does that
   work?
* are you using the latest mailsync?
* does the mail folder that fails above allready exist locally?
* how does the local Mail/Sent look like? Does it contain mails by itself
   as well as subfolders?
* how does the remote mail folder look like? Does that one contain mails
   as well as subfolders?
* what is your local mailformat? mbox?
