(sorry mostly for op but wanted to add to this comment) While I'm not much into email structure for imap tech, that does appear to be my experience. You can pull what it has but also need to make sure your saved is not more than what is allowed by provider. Full email does happen.
Unsure about the pop3 recommendation (never saves on server you just download it and it's gone from there but I probably missed something) but the forever for your syncing off IMAP was because you must have tons of shit in your email. Between the connection of your phone to internet vs provider it just took that long
If you let it properly sync once it'll probably be fine going forward. Just let it sync at the start of an evening or before a movie sort of thing and it'll catch up. But given what you said I'd do it on WiFi cause mobile data can be pricey is all. Though I get tons of data on my plan and rarely use it, good to know when you're using it elsewhere. Also most phones let you get an idea of mobile data vs WiFi to keep track if you're worried (android myself but mostly under settings, network .... Then somewhere underneath will let you know if you're getting too high)
Though guess if issue is your phone may not have space for it all, gotta work with that first. Can't suggest much than delete stuff you don't need. Sort of your own thing there unfortunately, rather than a strict suggestion.
Just figured I'd cover most bases for this issue. Also I was never paid well for tech support glad not my thing now but I so like attempting to help out.
