offlineimap isn't bad; I've been using it since 2003-2004 and can say it's easier-to-setup and more reliable than isync/mbsync, especially with not-so-great "IMAP" servers.

offlineimap also has specific examples in the docs for Gmail's weird IMAP interface. My main complaints about it are high memory usage and slowness.

Looks like vger is down, my mail server can't make connections to it on port 25 at all. Good thing we have a reply-to-all convention here :)
