My understanding is that the nnimap backend was re-written quite
significantly two or three years ago (?). At any rate, the people who
used the first iteration and were horrified now seem mostly happy with
the new version, YMMV. I used to use isync and local dovecot, now use
the direct connection, and it doesn't kill me. It isn't great (I'm in
China), but it doesn't kill me.
