Yes. Org-mode[1] (now part of Emacs) is by far the best PIM that I have
ever encountered. One can think of it as Ecco Pro[2] on steroids.

One can sync Org-mode with smart phones (Android & IOS) via MobileOrg[3].

One can sync Org-mode with Google Calendar several ways:

or just use MobileOrg, which will take care of that for you.

Yes, via IMAP.
