But will imapsync keep trac of UIDs so users won't have have duplicated messages or re-download them if they use POP3?
IMAP protocol doesn't know anything about POP3 UIDLs. They might or might not be based on IMAP UIDs.
I don't think so. The sync happens via IMAP, and I don't think IMAP clients can *set* UIDs of messages; only the server does this (someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.)
That too. Although Dovecot v2.1's dsync + imapc backend can migrate mails and preserve IMAP UIDs, but even it can't preserve POP3 UIDLs at least currently (that would also require POP3 client code for Dovecot..)
