Upon further inspection, we found that the message *does* get saved
remotely. Hence, this seems like an offlineimap problem, timing out
because it receives no responses to APPEND (because the transfer
takes so long). The transfer actually completes, but offlineimap
will have given up by then already.

Has anyone else seen this?

Can you confirm this behaviour?

What should offlineimap be doing differently?

Thanks,
