Perhaps you are thinking of mailsync on sourceforge?  Wanting these
things previously I have it bookmarked for future research.

  http://mailsync.sourceforge.net/

I am using maildirsync between my laptop and desktop effectively.  It
works quite well.  But it does have some quirks so I can't say it is
perfect.  Definitely worth a look for people who use maildir format
mailboxes and wanting to read mail offline.

Another well known program is offlineimap.  I have not used it myself
yet but I again had bookmarked it in my own todo list to look at in
the future.  It looks to do exactly what you want.

Here is an article by the author.

I think given the use of imap already I would investigate offlineimap.
