OK, that's helpful: I wasn't sure how to interpret the error. So, if I understand correctly, it's simply that the server drops the connection. No argument on outlook.com's imap "implementation" being crap - i have also been bitten by the fact that it returns only an approximate message size in the past, resulting in data loss. I suspect MS are providing a broken IMAP implementation in order to dissuade you from using it. Anyway, what I've resorted to is using davmail to bridge between outlook.com and the local machine, and am running mbsync against the davmail IMAP port. So far, this seems to work, although a lot slower than a true IMAP connection would.
