If related then it's about the Exchange implementation (the IMAP to 
Exchange interface). There's no way for me to fix that.

I've often been told about UIDVALIDITY issues with Exchange, but I don't 
think I've heard about the auto-unsubscribe issue.

Are you sure the greyed out part isn't just MailMate showing a 
placeholder name (the one used if nothing explicit is provided)?

In any case, both `smtp.office365.com` and `outlook.officie365.com` are 
fine as far as I know. Only Microsoft will know if there is or ever will 
be a difference.
