* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.

That's probably part of the cause, ie. my /etc/hosts is prioritising the wrong address. Anyway, I solved the problem with /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. Originally I had:

listen = localhost

After resetting to the default:

listen = *

... imapsync worked fine.

gvim
