The issue might be that there are two competing configurations for the 
same inbox. In order to avoid this make sure you copy and paste a 
configuration to use it as another. Examples of configurations that are 
different are:

   {imap.gmail.com/ssl}INBOX

and

   {imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=login at gmail.com}INBOX

There could be others. What you want is that the configuration you use is 
the same everywhere, so if one says

   {imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=login at gmail.com}INBOX

all the others for the same account should have

   imap.gmail.com/ssl/user=login at gmail.com

as the server.

Am I wrong in thinking that nowhere in your configuration it says "60" for 
anything? Could it be that someone typed 60 in a field that was not meant 
for that?

This is what my configuration is set to:

Composer Wrap Column                = <No Value Set: using "74">

Is that your case too?
