[ANNOUNCE] OfflineIMAP v6.3.2-rc3 released

[Ivan Semin]

I am running Centos 5, which is probably the most used OS on
production webservers. That has 2.4 out of the box and unfortunately
most end users are unable to update it. So at least you should warn in
docs about that requirement.

I have updated to 2.6 now and installed v6.3.2-rc3 (still shows 6.3.1
in --version btw) - works without any patches. There is a different
problem however. Yesterday all my syncronizations stopped again
because of offlineimap existing with exception - every time in the
same place (syncing the same email). The upgrade did not fix this bug.
The log follows:

The number 32746809 makes me think about some limit to the message size?

Anyway, after the update to 2.6 and 6.3.2-rc3 the same bug
