This affected my &ldquo;All Mail&rdquo; folder (It also affected my &ldquo;Sent Mail&rdquo;, but it got lost in the noise of the 67964 messages in All Mail). The recovery process is simply to remove that folder (and it&rsquo;s sync history), and start over. Unfortunate, but fine. That&rsquo;s why I&rsquo;ve got a 28Mbit connection, after all.</p>
