If I could punch the idiots behind exchange, I would. My hopes where
high when my company switched the server to outlook365, only to realize
that the IMAP server is the _same_ implementation, but now shared among
a larger user base, higher latency, and essentially 10 times slower.

It's unbelievable how you could take the slowest, oldest IMAP server you
can think of (uwimapd?), combine it with /any/ random MTA, and replace
exchange with a 10 years old server and STILL increase throughput
while actually be compliant to booth!

Again, Idiots.

Talking about transactions, how robust is mbsync transaction system in
case mbsync itself is killed?

I recklessly run mbsync under timeout(1), and noticed that in some
occasions I had to remove the journals. I didn't have time to look more
deeply though.

Thank you a _lot_ for this. Indeed, I feared it wasn't something I could
work a weekend onto, but you digested the work in several pieces that
look more approachable.

I'll keep you updated.
