I know that about these protocols. And the lack of IMAP support from Gmail is the real problem. So, a such request implies that I'd need a third party service to do it right, but I can't find the right one. The deletion on the original server isn't a real problem because I can set up the professional account to dump the older mails periodically, but I can't find a way to synchronize the deletion of a mail already retrieved and integrated to the inbox of one Gmail account with the second one.
