Only BIG problem in my mind is IMAP requires the server to be alive to
access ANY of your email, that's bad when your connection goes down, or
the server goes down.

Some clients will delete after a certain amount of time, so if you set
both clients to "delete from server" messages that are older then say 2
days you can keep both machines up to date.

However, this method will not keep folders synced only new incoming
messages. TTYL
