It's not impossible, but you'd have to (re)design the IMAP client around Gmail. Example: The client only ever downloads full messages in a local copy of 'All Mail', 'Spam' and 'Trash'. It the user wants to see messages in 'Inbox' (a.k.a messages with the 'Inbox' tag) it only downloads the headers and compares by msg-id to the messages in 'All Mail'. I wonder if the clients designed by Google work this way...
