I'm sorry, but your mixing up the to problems I had. One (thread "Double
nametrans required in a imap-imap-Sync?") was the issue of the
2-way-sync, where I was not sure if the folders from the local server
get synced to the remote server, and if I need a second nametrans for that.

The second problem I have is that I have some folders, that exist on the
remote side (GMX-server) and got created on the local side (1blu-server
as subfolders of GMX/), as I can see them in the webinterface. But I
always get the following error when syncing:

And no mails are synced into these folders. I just have empty folders on
the local side (1blu-server).

Pretty confusing, I hope I could point out the problem. If not, feel
free to ask.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
OJ
