Did some  quick google search and it seems that the IMAP Exchange server
cannot take custom IMAP flags and responds to eg

19 APPEND test (\Answered \Seen NonJunk) "04-Sep-2009 16:02:06 +0200" {5876}
Read:   19 BAD Command Argument Error. 11

But this doesn't seem to be the case here, as you are not using any custom flags in:

APPEND TODO (\Seen) "26-led-2011 18:23:44 +0100" {3294}

Could it be that the localized date format confuses the Exchange server?

imap: savemessage: using date "26-led-2011 18:23:44 +0100"


in current git master in offlineimap/folder/IMAP.py, try to add at line
331 to test if this is the case (somewhere in the savemessage() function,
after the date has been set):

if date == "26-led-2011 18:23:44 +0100"
  date = "26-Jan-2011 18:23:44 +0100"

If the message saves fine with this international date, we know the
culprit.
