Many moons ago I tried to use Mulberry to connect to an Exchange
mailbox using IMAP and hit a problem where there were messages that
caused Exhange to drop the connection.  When I first encountered this
I just quit using Exchange.  Stanford is in the throws of a project to
move to Office 365 and I am seeing the problem again.  I don't really
have the option to stop using Exchange this time around.

Looking at the debugging log I see Mulberry issue the command to
retrieve header information, i.e.

A00013 FETCH 1406:1448 (FLAGS RFC822.SIZE UID INTERNALDATE ENVELOPE BODYSTRUCTURE)

then data is returned for each message until the poison message is
accessed and Exchange hangs up the phone.  Have others seen this
problem?  Is there a work around?
