using local imap as proxy

Hi folks,

because of the sluggish performance and poor QoS of my current
university's imap server, I thought of using some kind of proxy. 
That means, I would like to install a daemon that does two things:

1. sync local data with the remote imap account
2. sync local changes back to the remote account

So a solution like fetchmail does not fit, I would rather like to use a
leightweight imap server locally that does nothing but keeping in sync
with the remote host. offlineimap seems to be a solution, but it only
seems to work once on invokation, I need a daemon running and
permanently syncing all folders, as I sometime switch workplaces fast. 

Can e.g. cyrus do that? Any IMAP server?
