[offlineimap] Removal of "maxage" for imap-to-imap sync in 6.5.7 causes duplication of messages on sync (#242)

Sorry, a copy paste error.

This approach was not obvios to me. I used the same nametrans rules for
imap-to-imap sync and back then there was no need to translate from mailbox name to
Maidir path.

So I have to setup a rule for each and every folder name? And whenever I add a
folder I have to adjust the offlineimap config?

I now have these rules:

```
nametrans = lambda foldername: foldername.replace('.drafts', 'Entwurf').replace('.trash', 'Papierkorb').replace('.sent', 'Gesendet').replace('/', 'INBOX').replace('.ads', 'ads').replace('.archive', 'archive').replace('.forums', 'forums').replace('.providers', 'providers').replace('.support', 'support').replace('.webshops', 'webshops')

nametrans = lambda foldername: foldername.replace('Entwurf', '.drafts').replace('Papierkorb', '.trash').replace('Gesendet', '.sent').replace('INBOX', '/').replace('ads', '.ads').replace('archive', '.archive').replace('forums', '.forums').replace('providers', '.providers').replace('support', '.support').replace('webshops', '.webshops')
```

And no dotless folders are created in the Maildir anymore. However, the error about '/' still exists:

```

```

Are these nametrans rules wrong?:

```
[...].replace('/', 'INBOX')[...]
[...].replace('INBOX', '/')[...]
```

Do you mean I should move my local INBOX to .INBOX or something like that?
