Folders are created while "readonly = True"

Hi everyone,
I just tried to use OfflineIMAP as a migration tool which should migrate
mails from an old IMAP server to a new one (one way). I'm using this
config to achieve this:
**** BEGIN CONFIG >>>
[general]
metadata = ~/.offlineimap
accounts = Test
maxsyncaccounts = 20
ui = TTYUI
ignore-readonly = no
[mbnames]
[Account Test]
localrepository = Destination
remoterepository = Source
[Repository Source]
type = IMAP
remotehost = mail.oldserver.de
remoteuser = user at company.de
remotepass = password
maxconnections = 5
holdconnectionopen = no
subscribedonly = no
readonly = True
[Repository Destination]
type = IMAP
remotehost = mail.newserver.de
remoteuser = user at company.de
remotepass = password
maxconnections = 5
holdconnectionopen = no
subscribedonly = no
readonly = False
**** END CONFIG <<<
As far as I understood, 'Source' 's option of 'readonly = True' should
prevent that any data is copied from it's counterpart 'Destination'. In
fact, 'Destination' contains only one mail which isn't copied, but
there's a folder 'INBOX.Trash' created on the 'Source'.
Shouldn't 'readonly = True' prevent any changes on that repository?
Best regards,
