I used to use a a setup similar to kre’s (but using fetchmail), but
several years ago I switched careers and found myself with a strong need

that means a phone, tablet, and chromebook in addition to my laptop
(which is my primary mail-handing device for decades now). I couldn’t
find a solution that worked well with (n)mh at the time, and so I moved
into ‘mass market’ world of email. I wonder if anyone here has
found a good way to mix regularly, primary nmh usage with frequent
phone/tablet email access?

There is a tool which can sync IMAP mailboxes and MH folders, called
"Mailsync".  It's orphaned (last release in 2004) and has been described
as "horrible".  It uses c-client, but is itself written in C++.  I have
never used it, but in theory it might do what you want.

     https://sourceforge.net/projects/mailsync/

(This is one of those cases that just screams out for native IMAP support
in nmh.  Sigh.  One day).

there's also mhaildirsync:
    https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2008-07/msg00005.html

but that's just for syncing a local MH tree to a local Maildir, which
is then served by an imap server.
