imapsync is failing for me, with very odd errors; mostly "failure to append message to folder", or some such... And unlike most of the failures with imapsync, it didn't just error out (and give me the message with "N messages failed."), it just flat out crashes (it's outputting as if it's running, and then suddenly drops me back to a prompt). I kind of gave up on it for Gmail; but if you want to take a look at the errors, I'd be happy to toss you the log.
Yeah, gmail doesn't support folders. Their IMAP support is misleading. Try dumping it all to INBOX.
In my experience mail will still be transferred to Gmail - it just gets stuck under an 'IMAP - foldername' label instead of a "real" synced folder. Maybe they've broken it more since :)
I can make folders on Gmail using a normal IMAP client (but yeah, it's not always pretty), so I don't think that's the problem.
But it seems like they've broken _something_, because no tool I use works consistently with their server, it seems (as far as upload...downloading seems to work fine...).
Ugh, I wished Google used Dovecot too...
