R1. Yes, I found the same. Two antivirus, Baidu and Jiangmin, report that
imapsync might have a trojan in it.
All others virus scanner say imapsync.exe is ok.
I've done this test on imapsync.exe release 1.727 on the two following

https://www.metadefender.com/
R2. Explanation:

the script imapsync, with perl interpreter itself and all modules

R4. imapsync.exe release 1.836 is reported as totally clean by both
