dsync probably wouldn't be such a good idea for this use case anyway.
dsync assumes that an IMAP client has accessed the mailboxes in both
source and destination, so if there are any UID conflicts (and in the
case you describe there would be UID conflicts all the time) it gives
new UIDs for the conflicting messages.
