             Imapsync tips for David Tobit imap server
=======================================================================

=======================================================================
Q. There are slashes / in folder names that are not separators. How can
   I keep them or change them in the destination account with imapsync?

A. You can't do it properly with imapsync or any other IMAP client.

   By default, imapsync will consider those / characters as separators
   and get empty folders where they stand.  If you change "/" to
   another character, say "_", with --regextrans2, then all / are
   transformed to _ and the folder hierarchy disappears.
   
   Solution? Yes. Change the / on the source account manually, using
   the same email tool that allowed to create them, the David Tobit
   native email client tool.

   See https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/issues/440
