diff tools are not good to compare by general, it depends
from where to where with what reason you use them

so there i.e is
imapsync , dsync, rsync etc

as name says imapsync does its job over pure imap
i.e good for migration from i.e other imap servers to dove

dsync for backup and/or migration from dove to dove i.e with changing
i.e mailbox format

rsync is a file sync util,

if you like to see compare tools in different sceanrios in the wiki
youre free to write it at youre own
