Package: offlineimap
Version: 5.99.11
Severity: normal

I need to run offlineimap from cron instead of using autorefresh,
because if I take my laptop offline at random points during the
synchronisation, the results are undefined.

I am using an SSH tunnel:

  ssh -CaxS none -o "KeepAlive = yes" -o "ProtocolKeepAlives = 10"
  -o "ConnectTimeout 20" -o "ControlMaster no" -i
  ~/.etc/offlineimap/id_dsa.imap seamus.madduck.net
  'MAIL=$HOME/.maildir/ /usr/lib/dovecot/imap'.

If I call offlineimap without a connection, it dies with

  abort: socket error: EOF

If it wakes up after autorefresh minutes and can't find
a connection, it also dies the same way.

In both cases, it should really survive and retry later.

If offlineimap is synchronising when I pull the plug, it eventually
dies with

  abort: command: SELECT => socket error: EOF

Again, it should gracefully tear down the current synchronisation
and try again later.
