Last I checked, you can get weird and even very weird results using IMAP
to sync with Gmail because they don't have a folder system. They use
labels, which an IMAP client will interpret as folders. But if you have
an email marked with two labels, it will show up in your IMAP client as
two emails in two folders.
If you have nested folders, it used to be that the folder hierarchy
appeared in Gmail as a single label, for instance "Work\Finances
\Receipts". But labels have a limit of forty characters, so a
sufficiently nested folder system broke Gmail's labels. Google Labs has
a nested label system they're working on - I don't know if that fixes
that problem.
