Yes.  If fetch gives a size that is too large, OfflineIMAP would sit
there waiting for more data to arrive.  Presumably after a delay,
Exchange would eventually close the connection and OfflineIMAP would get
the error received.

Exchange is *flagrantly* violating the IMAP RFC here.  I don't see how
they can expect *any* client to work right if they're giving the wrong
size.
