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).
