FYI, deleting the user's config under ~/.config, ~/.local/share and ~/.cache
fixes the issue and geary starts successfully after that.

Of course that is a disruptive operation (user config is gone, and what about
pop accounts that cannot resync emails later on).


I can probably reproduce the issue on another computer if anyone wants to
troubleshoot this issue further.

X-Debbugs-CC: jbicha@debian.org,bigon@debian.org

Adding the geary uploaders directly in CC since they might not have received
emails from the BTS for this bug as the maintainer is set to Debian GNOME
Maintainers.

Severity: important

Changing the severity to important as it turns out that a workaround 
exists (ie: remove the user's geary config).

Also, since Geary does not support POP accounts, I don't believe any 
data loss would happen (one just need to resync their imap emails).

Given those info, this bug doesn't qualify for severity grave imho.

Best regards,
