fixes #11024

Another approach would be if we handle initialization in sync() instead. Smth like:

if (init) { await wait(5000) await this.loadEnvelopes() }

please test

What caused the endless loop before?

What caused the endless loop before?

Check the async loadEnvelopes(). That’s a recursive call, loadEnvelopes() calls itself again and again after waiting 15 seconds.

Seems intentional?

// Keep trying

Seems intentional?

// Keep trying

to keep trying, yes probably. To keep trying forever, i doubt its intentional. Do you think this approach is not the solution we want?

[ChristophWurst]

The idea is to wait until the initial syncing is done. This should happen eventually.

Do you have an alternative for retrying until it is no longer locked? Retry should definitely stop for any other error
