conf for gmail, lang is not english

Mon Sep 15 16:57:09 BST 2014

Hi Nicolas,

most probably you did not set "nametrans" rules correctly for your local and
remote repository.

In my config (also with localized Gmail names for folders) I have:

    [Repository GmailRemote]
    nametrans = lambda x: 'gmail.INBOX.Sent' if x == '[Gmail]/Wys&AUI-ane'

    [Repository GmailLocal]
    nametrans = lambda x: '[Gmail]/Wys&AUI-ane' if x == 'gmail.INBOX.Sent'

You need to have *exactly opposite* matches in both "nametrans" rules for local
and remote repository. Otherwise, every sync will create new local folder which
will be pushed to remote, so the next sync sees new folder... hence the
INFINITE FOLDER CREATION problem :)

Hope this helps, best regards,
Tomasz
