In the meantime I use GMail and OfflineIMAP and other than the
occassional bug out from OfflineIMAP things have been working pretty
smoothly for a couple of months. It's much faster than IMAP, especially
with my mua of choice: mutt.

No, you still send mail using GMail's SMTP server. It will sync back
any changes you make to the folder structure though.

I figured it out from this link:

Good luck!
