[Imap-protocol] Exchange IMAP service dropping sessions after 9 errors

I have observed that the Exchange IMAP server will disconnect an IMAP session after 9 errors (such as issuing an EXAMINE command on a non-existent mailbox or trying to append a message with an invalid internaldate. I've seen this with Exchange 2007 but the limit may exist in new versions as well. That can represent a problem during migration of a user account since during copying thousands of messages it is unreasonable to hit the error limit and get blown away. I have modified my migration tool to deal with this by counting the number of NO or BAD status returns, disconnecting & reconnecting, and then resuming from the point of error. However, I would like to ask if anyone knows if the error threshold is configurable in Exchange.
