If I were you, I would do a mail_fetch_fast() of the entire mailbox first,

Will doing that force the library to only fetch the desired number of bytes
rather than reading until the end of the IMAP reply? A problem I've seen is
that MS Exchange is broken and gives "estimates" of email sizes rather than
actually saying how many bytes are in the message; sometimes it reports too
many bytes, sometimes too few.
You must have either a very old, or poorly-configured version of Exchange.
This bug was supposedly fixed something like 8 years ago.
When you leave the "last" argument specified as 0, what is actually sent
by the c-client library to the IMAP server is 4294967295 which is the
maximum size of a message in IMAP. You might be setting yourself up for
grief if the server mishandles large uint32 values.
