It might require writing the moral equivalent of > offline-imap, but not an IMAP server, no. Yup, I hadn't thought that through completely. But still, re-writing offline-imap/isync in Elisp is going to be a huge amount of work, and wouldn't really be usable until we have a solid implementation of threads/async elisp. And I don't quite see the benefit. My.mbsyncrc file is 61 lines, and I would expect an equivalent amount of config to make Gnus do the same thing...
