I'll just end this thread with a couple of comments:

* The discussion quickly turned into “which cloud service”, but this 
is just a technicality (and I still think IMAP itself is the best 
choice). The challenge is not how to synchronize the mailboxes file, 
it's how to gracefully handle any order and timing of changes to this 
file on multiple machines.
* The above file oriented behavior, as described by Patrik, is 
essentially what is needed for synchronization to work.
