1. When using maxage, local and remote messagelists are supposed to only contain messages from at most maxage days ago. But local and remote used different timezones to calculate what "maxage days ago" means, resulting in removals on one side. Now, we ask the local folder for maxage days' worth of mail, find the lowest UID, and then ask the remote folder for all UID's starting with that lowest one. 2. maxage was fundamentally wrong in the IMAP-IMAP case: it assumed that remote messages have UIDs in the same order as their local counterparts, which could be false, e.g. when messages are copied in quick succession. So, remove support for maxage in the IMAP-IMAP case. 3. Add startdate option for IMAP-IMAP syncs: use messages from the given repository starting at startdate, and all messages from the other repository. In the first sync, the other repository must be empty. 4. Allow maxage to be specified either as number of days to sync (as previously) or as a fixed date.

OfflineImap
Description
OfflineIMAP is a software to dispose your e-mail mailbox(es) as a local Maildir. OfflineIMAP will synchronize both sides via IMAP.
The main downside about IMAP is that you have to trust your MAIL provider to not loose your mails. This is not something impossible while not very common. With OfflineIMAP, you can download your Mailboxes and make you own backups of the Maildir.
This allows reading your mails while offline without the need for the mail reader (MUA) to support IMAP disconnected operations. Need an attachement from a message without internet? It's fine, the message is still there.
