Exchange does not support arbitrary IMAP flags, so this does not seem
surprising. Check from another IMAP client (Trojita, Thunderbird,…) whether the
Action flag ($TODO) is actually propagated at all (I doubt it).

It may be the case that upon every refresh the IMAP resource gets info from the
server about the current flags set (none, because it's exchange) and assumes it
was removed remotely and so removes it locally as well.

In principle, the IMAP resource should be aware of the server's CAPABILITIES
and adapt to them as needed. This may mean not offering the ability to set the
$TODO flag or storing them in the Akonadi database only.

However, with Exchange, the best thing is to try out the akonadi-ews resource
under development: https://github.com/KrissN/akonadi-ews (it may also be in
your distribution's packages).
