OfflineImap crashes partway through syncing my mail with:

  Thread 'New msg sync from spam' terminated with exception:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  [Snipped many lines of Python stack trace]
  error: APPEND command error: BAD ['Invalid internal date.']


  Last 11 debug messages logged for New msg sync from spam prior to
  exception:
  imap: savemessage: called
  imap: savemessage: using date "31-Nov-2006 02:50:01 +0000"
  [Snipped the entire spam message]

So you've found something in my spam folder which has an invalid header?
Oooh, that can't possibly be right, because obviously spammers _always_
make sure to follow all the relevant RFCs.

And you've decided that this invalid header prevents you from being able
copy the message between this computer and the imap server, rather than
just, say, copying the invalid message as it is and letting me have a
message with a stupid date in it?

And this is despite the fact that the message is in the spam folder on
this computer because I moved it there from my inbox, and it got to the
inbox my, erm, you!  So you can happily sync invalid messages from the
server to this computer, just not cope with sending them in t'other
direction?

And further you've decided that your inability to copy this one, spam,
message means you should abort any attempts to sync any of the rest of
my mail, even that in other folders, until I've used something else to
move the broken message out of the way?

Hate!
