Not half as much, imo, as trying to keep message status straight when
leaving messages on a POP server for retrieval by multiple parties.
I use Fetchmail to fetch from gmail and drop into the Maildir directories
serviced by my local IMAP, and dovecot for the imap server. Fetchmail
takes a little bit of setup, dovecot almost none.
