Newbie questions

["Randy Orrison" <randy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm currently using fetchmail to download email to my debian box at home,
and exim to deliver it to my few users (each has a separate account the
ISP server).  On my debian box I run courier IMAP and SquirrelMail (which
my users use to read their mail, I use mutt and SquirrelMail).  My ISP's
mail server from which I download email also supports IMAP, and I'd like
to be able to mirror my email folders from home to the ISP server (just
for my account).  So... my questions:

I've tried to configure offlineimap to use the same folders as my local
Courier IMAP server, but couldn't get it to work.  I have folders that
look like this:
  ~/Maildir (my inbox)
  ~/Maildir/.MailingLists.debian-user
  ~/Maildir/.Trash
etc.
Using the sample .conf file, I got
  ~/Maildir/INBOX
  ~/Maildir/INBOX.MailingLists.debian-user
  ~/Maildir/INBOX.Trash
so I used the following line from the example:
  nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX.', '', foldername)
but then I ended up with
  ~/Maildir/INBOX
  ~/Maildir/MailingLists.debian-user
  ~/Maildir/Trash
so I changed it to not remove the '.' in front of the names:
  nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX', '', foldername)
and got ... nothing!  Well, offlineimap connected to the server and told
me about the folders it found, but it didn't copy a single message.  (I'm
at work at present, so I can't give the exact output.)  Why didn't it do
anything?

Second question: I have a lot of existing mail in my Maildir folders at
home; will offlineimap copy it up to the IMAP server?  (So far, I've only
tested with an empty local directory.)

Third question: I also have another email account which I can only access
with POP3, and is delivered into my Maildir by exim.  Will offlineimap
pick up those new messages and sync them up to my ISP's IMAP server?

Thanks!
