Hi I just want to make sure - are these nametrans rules correct, as on gmail side has / as a path separator and the local . ? See selected output from --info: gmail account: Remote repository 'RemoteRMKrugGMAIL': type 'Gmail' folderfilter= lambda folder: folder.startswith('GMAILArchive') nametrans= lambda foldername: 'RMKrugGMAIL.' + foldername GMAILArchive -> RMKrugGMAIL.GMAILArchive GMAILArchive/1970 -> RMKrugGMAIL.GMAILArchive/1970 local imap accound (dovecot) Local repository 'LocalRMKrugGMAIL': type 'MappedIMAP' RMKrugGMAIL.GMAILArchive -> GMAILArchive RMKrugGMAIL.GMAILArchive.1970 -> GMAILArchive.1970 Thanks, Rainer -- Rainer M.
