Hi Dominic,

I wasn't aware of that, but I have repeatedly tried to hand of 
"maintainer of OfflineIMAP" mantle to someone else.  What's the status 
of your project?  I would be happy to hand it off entirely to someone 
qualified and dedicated.

Primarily because it seemed easy and safe to start with.  Exchange is 
rather broken in what it's doing, but adapting to it shouldn't hurt 
anything.  That said, I work on this and many other projects on a 
volunteer basis and haven't had the time to work around this bug in a 
server that I never use myself.

I haven't had the chance to review the gmane links just now though.

If you develop a well-tested patch, I would be happy to apply it.

Thanks,
