In this example, which one is the "remote"?  (Can I assume WebDe?)

That's a bogus regexp there.  It's saying to replace the end of the=20
strung with INBOX.  You probably want the one you had on your other=20
repository here:

nametrans =3D lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX\.', '', foldername)

=46or this one, you should have no nametrans at all.

Also, I would encourage you to start syncing the IMAP server to your=20
disk.  Once that works, then make it go to another IMAP server.  It's=20
easier to debug if you have only one IMAP server in the picture to=20
start with.
