Noticed that when it downloads the email, it marks it as read. Apparently most imap providers don't do that (although Apple does) - he has a workaround on the imap-backup side, but it requires more round trips to reset the read flags when required.
Wondered if this is an intentional design thing or maybe something that should/could be addressed on the purelymail side.
I have recently started using map-backup (https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup) to keep a backup of my mail (formerly used mbsync).

Here's the discussion that applies: https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup/issues/118
It appears Apple and Purelymail (hey, you're in good company/!) are the folks that have exhibited the problem.
