Nope :). Exchange has a crap IMAP implementation according to Trojita author 
Jan Kundrat (sorry for missing accents, would need to cut and paste them 
again), yet… whatever crap it does, Akonadi IMAP resource should recover.

I think I would be able to. Yet, I still have KDEPIM 16.04 on my Debian Sid 
and I am not sure whether it would work there. As for compiling all of KDEPIM… 
as I did in the past: I am running low on space on my SSDs to hold the 
sources, the build files and the resulting binaries and thus need to find a way 
to either move some files away or dare to try deduplication in BTRFS or buy 
larger SSDs.

I looked into it once, but couldn´t wrap my head around the code. I didn´t 
understand where I would need to make that change. But that has been a while 
ago and I don´t even remember where I exactly looked.
