nametrans being ignored

[Stewart Johnston]

Hullo all.

I've just upgraded to 6.5.4 and am re-writing my configuration to make
better use of the serverside folder syncing.

I have a gmail account that I'd like to sync in both directions, but
so far the nametrans in the local account seems to be ignored. I was
hoping someone could point out where I am going wrong.

Here is the configuration for gmail:

[Repository local-gmail]
type = Maildir
localfolders = ~/.mail/gmail
# Translate local directory names back to Gmail format.
nametrans = lambda folder: re.sub('inbox', 'INBOX', folder)

[Repository remote-gmail]
type = Gmail
remoteusereval = get_account_detail('gmail', 'username')
remotepasseval = get_account_detail('gmail', 'password')

nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('INBOX', 'inbox',
        re.sub('\[Google Mail\]\/Sent Mail', 'sent',
        re.sub('\[Google Mail\]\/Important', 'important',
        re.sub('\[Google Mail\]\/Starred', 'starred',
        foldername))))

Obviously, this is a work in progress; it's not complete yet. Here's what happens on a dry run:

  getfolder() asked for a nonexisting folder 'inbox'.
ERROR: Aborting sync, folder 'starred' [acc: 'gmail']
  getfolder() asked for a nonexisting folder 'starred'.

So, it's trying to create a directory called 'inbox' on the remote
server; is that correct? I understood that the nametrans in my local
configuration would convert 'inbox' to 'INBOX'.

It would be great if someone could point out where I am being daft.

Many thanks,
Stoo
