Partly this can be solved by not exposing imap to internet, but ssh only. Then connect a tunnel to it to use imap inside. No, I have not done that, I have similar objections to yours.
I don't only use Linux. I access my email from Macs, Windows, Android, iOS, Haiku, RISC OS and in theory though I think that I haven't tried it yet, from A2/Bluebottle.
They don't all do SSH.
And if they did, it still means exposing ssh to the internet...
Well, that I already do. Not on the desktop machine, but a dedicated small "server".
Of course, it may be possible, with a good sync client, to finish the sync eventually, and from then on, only sync the changed stuff "faster". Would that work with google? I don't know.
It doesn't seem to with T'bird or with Apple Mail. :-(
T'bird can't even with dovecot on local network!
imapsync on local network only is slow...
Ah. :-(
Apparently it first scans the headers of every post on every folder. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
