offlineimap, mutt and exchange.

[Steve Traylen <s.traylen@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In the last few days I'm using offlineimap to sync an imap enabled=20
M$ exchange server to a local maildir that I then read with mutt.

Everything almost works perfectly except for one annoyance.

Often in Mutt messages that I have read appear in the index=20
with the 'O' flag which is for old.

Despite the fact that these messages have been read in Mutt they=20
appear on the exchange server via outlook still as new and
unread.

Reading the messages again in Mutt is enough to switch the messages
to read on the imap server.

I guess the imap server is not respecting some flag that mutt is
setting. Any ideas?
