I am not sure what triggers that message, but the synchronization refers 
to a local copy of the addressbook. This is typically a file with a name 
.abXXXXXX that should be in the same directory as your .pinerc. It looks 
like somehow there is a discrepancy between your local copy and that on 
the server.

Find your local copy and change its name to see if Alpine will recreate 
it and if that might fix your issue.
