? I don't really get that setup, but apparently what you want to do is:

on repoA:
folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername.startswith('Maildir')
nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^Maildir\.', 'Maildir\old-mail',
            foldername)

(This selects all folders below "Maildir/*" and translates them to
"Maildir/old-mails/*"

and on repoB:
folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername.startswith('Maildir/old-mails')

(to make sure, only folders that we want to look at are synchronized).

But offlineimap is so flexible, there will be a hundred ways to achieve
the same solution.

Does this help?
