To find what files are different, this might help:

$ find /home/jhart/Maildir -print > /tmp/orig-files
$ find /mntpoint/email/home/jhart/Maildir -print > /tmp/backup-files
$ diff /tmp/orig-files /tmp/backup-files

That's a matter for optimization.  If command-line rsync is too slow,
or there are other features that you need that only rsyncd offers, go
with that.  Otherwise, you probably need sshd for administration of
the box, so just use that.
