That is what I used before and wanted to switch off. Here is the 2 main
reasons:
 1) It add extra header overhead similar to: Received by localost at

 2) It put emails in local delivery queue so syncing becomes slow.
 3) only backup, no syncing back.

Don't know about imapsync but I believe it has the same disadvantages
as it isn't native dovecot.
