Unfortunately, I have no way to test OfflineIMAP against that server.
It appears that the Exchange server is providing no way to find the
UID of a newly uploaded message.  Without that, OfflineIMAP can't
maintain proper synchronization.

There is probably not going to be a way to make this work unless you
or someone else can figure out a way around this limitation in
Exchange and send me patches.

Now, having said that, I know that some people have used OfflineIMAP
with Exchange.  Perhaps some of them are reading this list and can
contribute.
