[offlineimap] offlineimap hangs when network connection disappears (#125)

[Morten M. Neergaard]

Running 6.3.4 on Debian Jessie. When offlineimap has been syncing emails for a while, this happens (most likely in response to network hiccups) – my timeout is set to 30 seconds.

At the end of the output, offlineimap is hanging, not doing anything.

    Account sync Exchange:
