Yes, that is a quite reasonable start indeed.

You will likely want to specify a remotepass in both Repositories, lest you 
have to type in an IMAP password twice (and it may not be entirely clear to

sep = /

nametrans = lambda foldername: rs.sub('^INBOX\.', 'mail/', foldername)

I think that will do what you want.
