The other common solution for IMAP mail accounts is offlineimap
After trying: direct IMAP access with mutt, offlineimap, maildirsync and
even git (no kidding!), I settled on unison for this purpose. It works
great for me. Of course unlike the IMAP aware solutions it assumes
maildir is the underlying store, and not mbox (or a set of mboxes).
The one slight disadvantage of unison (in my situation) is that it is
quite sensitive to version harmony; you really must have not only the
same major version of unison on both sides, but also compiled with the
same major version of Ocaml. Which means you mostly won't be able to
use binary packages if operating systems differ.
I'm presuming Ian is speaking of this:

Looks like it would be effective if you have access to run it on both your own
machine and the IMAP server.
