It looks like offlineimap releases IMAP commands while in the incorrect
IMAP state. However, it's hard to say if this comes from offlineimap or
the server. I'm not aware of other users having this issue with
offlineimap. OTOH I would not be surprised if that's the offlineimap
fault.

I think this issue could come from IDLE or something which logout the
client while the client still thinks it is authenticated.

I would first try without IDLE or by increasing the IMAP_IDLE_TIMEOUT a
lot to check this.
