I use three different machines and sync all my email between them by rsync over SSH, so as files rather than via isync. When I boot up a machine I rsync down all files, including hundreds of thousands of email, from my home server. Some of these emails I only have as maildir files, they are not even on any IMAP server. I make sure dot files are synced too, and deletions of files also propagate. Once the rsync logs are ok I then launch isync to Google and M365 for those mail folders that are on there as well. Before closing down the machine I rsync everything, including all email, to the home ssh server. Next day I sit at another machine and do the same. This has worked reliably for me for several years, the important thing is to make sure everything is rsynced with no errors before isync is launched to my email providers. This is not exactly answering your question though...
