Hi 👋, ~~Fyi, this [issue](https://support.delta.chat/t/cannot-sync-delta-chat-desktop-and-delta-chat-mobile-android/2970) has been encountered after most recent upgrade to 1.44.1 (I wonder if it could be related to it or if that is an issue with mail provider). Please let me know if i could provide with additional information.~~ ✅ The issue from `GitHub` has been closed after realizing the steps to reproduce it would repair the remote ?phantom 👻 state of my folders synced over IMAP: - re-creating folders logged as missing by Delta Desktop instance - deleting them while having Delta Desktop instance focused - enjoying logs not getting stuck as previously seen Thanks, ---
