The "bug" is rather inherent to Mutt's design, so "fixing" it wouldn't
be easy.  However, if you lose all the changes to your inbox since your
last sync because of it, you might as well want to call it a bug :-)

I've just added support for SSH right into the code, BTW, so you should
be able to simply change a few #defines at the top of the code.  If it
doesn't work, let me know and I'll make it work.  (I didn't bother to
test it, since the SSH-related changes I made were rather trivial.)
All imapproxy users should upgrade to the new version, BTW, since
I've also fixed a theoretically possible SEGV (reading, not writing -
worst-case should be crash, no security worries AFAIK ... but as with
all middleman-type programs, data loss can result if you haven't yet
synced the mailbox) in the NOOP-checking code.

Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor?
It's simple, Skyler.  You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
