I don't think that this is possible. Suppose server A has message foo
but it is missing from server B. This could be because message foo is
new on server A or because it was deleted from server B. I don't know
how the difference can be detected.
You could use Gnus Agent (Gnus unplugged), that knows how to keep in
sync a local copy of the IMAP messages and the IMAP server. (The
reason this works is that nnimap keeps a file of notes and stores
information that the user has deleted a message.)
