Hi there,

this is kind of intentional. Previously ctrl-c would simply kill the
main thread, leaving intermediary files and transfer at undefined states
behind. (often it would refuse to quit as the threaded imaplib2 was
blocking). Now, ctrl-c raises a flag and the operations abort cleanly.
Of course, that could mean that it continues to transfer a message etc...

Either there need to be more ctrl-c breakpoints, or some more brutal way
to terminate offlineimap needs to reinstated.
