Hi Sven,
sorry for the long time before I got to see this message. I hope it will
still be useful.

If I understand correctly, you intend to not really translate any names,
but simply cope with the different folder separator chars '/' and '.'?

First of all, for IMAP servers there is no need to set the sep='/'
setting. Indeed it is ignored (it is only relevant for Maildirs), as it
is automatically queried.

Second, from what I see you won't be needing any nametrans at all. The
different separators will be automatically handled.

Third, to debug nametrans rules better, I have implemented the --info
switch which is included in the latest release, 6.5.0. This will give
you a list of folders, and the name of the folders "on the other side",
ie how they will be translated. This should help with debugging
nametrans rules.

Let us know if you are still having problems.
Sebastian
