I've (finally) upgraded to isync 1.4 and updated the post 
(https://www.seanh.cc/2021/08/22/backup-fastmail-and-gmail-with-isync/) with 
the new "near" and "far" nomenclature.

Also added `Timeout 60` to my Gmail IMAPAccount's, this seems to reliably get 
rid of some timeouts that I often see from Gmail that cause isync to exit.

Seems to be working well for me. With Fastmail it's perfect. With Gmail I still 
get a variety of errors and warnings some of which cause isync to crash, but if 
you just keep re-starting it then it seems to eventually get through everything 
(though I don't know if it has missed some mails). Once an initial full sync of 
a large Gmail account is completed (with many re-starts of isync) further 
incremental syncs are more likely to succeed as you'd expect.

My work Gmail account seems to be much more reliable than my personal one too. 
Maybe because it contains much less mail? Or maybe it's because it's using 
enterprise Gmail? Who knows
