Broke down and went with the hackish approach of having cron run doveadm sync every 15 
minutes during business hours. Not ideal, but seems to correct the syncing delays. 
Hopefully no side effects.

*/15 8-18 * * * root    /usr/bin/doveadm sync -u "*" remote:mail2

It corrects or bandaids the problem where mail remains on one server only for extended 
periods, several hours. While users check email on another, and never see the emails on the 
other server. While sync status shows fast and full sync having completed, no errors in logs 
etc.
