the notable thing here is that you have *a lot* more messages on the

I don't know what these numbers mean.
Is the goal of the symmetrical sync that the numbers for slave and master match?
yes.
though i checked again, and your configuration doesn't specify
expunging, so trashed/deleted messages are piling up. the question would
still be still why the server has so many less. it might be doing some
auto-expunging.
The first number is the absolute number of mails
and the second?
the ones that arrived since the last mailbox view (however defined, imap isn't
very clear on the exact meaning, esp. for offline operation).
to get meaningful logs, you should create a tiny (~5 messages) mailbox
for testing and record how the situation develops over, say, three runs
with only that box.
I have a few smaller mailboxes, too, e.g.:
...
i.e. the numbers don't change.
yes, that box doesn't seem problematic judging by this.

Does this give a clue what could be the problem?
nope. we'd need an actual debug log of such an excessively slow sync
run. or even multiple runs to see how it develops.
