Without having the full details (ie, a tcpdump or a CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG log) it's hard to say exactly what the problem is, but I *suspect* that it is related to a workaround for Exchange 5.5 IMAP:
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5348 what is likely happening is that Exchange 5.5 is reporting there are 'n' messages but when we request the summary info for all the messages, it returns some number < n, therefor having us re-SELECT the folder and try again...looping endlessly. anyway, I later learned that re-SELECTing the folder doesn't work anyway, apparently Exchange waits for a NOOP to force a sync of it's internal cache (which is apparently why clients like Outlook are extremely aggressive with their NOOP commands - or so I've heard). anyways, I dunno. submit a bug with a complete CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG log. don't bother with a tcpdump unless we request it later, but I suspect it will not be needed.
