Is it possible my problem is that I'm trying to sync 2 IMAP boxes into
1 maildir? Last night I tried a different approach...

If I were to sync each client IMAP boxes to my IMAP box and then use a
better IMAP client such as Claws mail to access it directly. My problem
here is that I'm having a hard time finding examples of IMAP<->IMAP
config to work off of. Could somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
