Which feature was this, if I may ask? I would also use isync for
syncing a gmail account. Could you share your config so that I can have
an idea what I am looking at in a change ti isync?

How do these two compare in regards to stability (offlineimap has
e.g. an issue wit suspend on the Mac)?

Yup - that is the one I also have now from git.
