Sync -> Mails there. Sync -> mails gone

Hi Matthias,

the problem is that in your regular expression, you explicitly demand a dot at
the end of 'INBOX' or 'localPREFIX' part. This makes the nametrans in RemoteFoo:
- change 'INBOX.Example' into 'localPREFIX.Example'
- change 'INBOX' into 'localPREFIX.INBOX' (because no dot was at the end)

Then, the nametrans in LocalFoo will:
- change 'localPREFIX.Example' into 'INBOX.Example'
- change 'localPREFIX.INBOX' into 'INBOX.INBOX'


You have two options I think:
1.  Change RemoteFoo's nametrans regexp: '^INBOX\.?'
    Change LocalFoo's nametrans regexp: '^localPREFIX\.?'
    
2.  Change LocalFoo's nametrans into:
        lambda foldername = if foldername == 'localPREFIX.INBOX' then 'INBOX' else 'INBOX.' + re.sub('^localPREFIX\.', '', foldername)


In the first approach, the 'localPREFIX.INBOX' would be just 'localPREFIX' and
I am not sure how would your e-mail client react to this... So please try if it
works and if it it turns out to be the real source of problem, maybe you can
find a more elegant solution.

All the best,
Tomasz
