If you really need a patched imaplib2 because of a buggy IMAP server,
offlineimap now supports loading your own local version of the library.

1. Copy the bundled_imaplib2.py file from our sources.
2. Patch your copy.
3. Move it to somewhere in your PYTHONPATH.

Once done, `offlineimap -V` should report that imaplib2 is of type
"system".

However, we don't support unofficial configurations.
