nametrans does not like directories

Hi Allan,

excuse me, I am not sure, I understand what you are seeing here. Can you
please give an example of your nametrans that you attempted? nametrans
is all about directories (aka mail folders).

It seems you want something like
nametrans =3D lambda f: "received/"+ f.lower() if f in ['Spam', 'INBOX']
else "sent" if f=3D=3D"Sent" else f

on the remote side?

The reverse on the local side would be something like:
nametrans =3D lambda f:
{"received/spam":"Spam","received/inbox":"INBOX","sent":"Sent"}[f] if f
in ["received/spam","received/inbox","sent"] else f

Admittedly not extremly pretty and you might be better of writing a real
(and more verbose) python function to do the mapping.

What would you propose here?
