Last time I needed to pick mail up in this fashion I used mbsync, which 
pulled the IMAP mailbox into Maildir, this allowed mutt to access the 
mailbox as normal and mbsync would push and pull the changes from either 
side.

However, what I'm suggesting is that you put the vacation job on the 
server that holds your IMAP store, not the place where you're picking 
the mail up.

Yes, which is why I think this is done in the wrong place. If you're 
working with exchange, then it needs to be there. My concern is that if 
the job is on your workstation and you go away, would anyone get the 
response if there's a powercut and your workstation is left off until 
your return?
