How do such apps avoid to run into the usual Gmai-related IMAP issues? Is there an API for Gmail access?

  Issues such as? I don't know as far as I know they just use IMAP. I do notice the occasional syncing issues though.

    Apple Mail and Thunderbird at least fail at keeping all folders (labels) up-to-date all the time. It usually works for the inbox but folders only get updated when you access them.

      And – as a current example – Apple Mail (Mavericks) still show already read mails from yesterday as unread in the 'unread mail' smart folder. 'Synchronize' does not help.
