I've just started using isync/mbsync today.  My goal is to make periodic 
one-way backups of my Gmail account -- and later be able to easily access them 
from various IMAP clients.  Therefore, I am doing a one-way (master to slave 
only) IMAP-to-IMAP transfer using mbsync by using "Sync Pull".

Things work GREAT for everything except the main INBOX.  I can't find a way to 
put those messages into a DIFFERENTLY NAMED box at the slave end.  I can use 
MapInbox to specify a new INBOX name at the slave end -- but that appears to be 
just for doing a DUPLICATE of the INBOX.  It still syncs to my default INBOX at 
the slave end too.  I don't want to do that -- I don't want to mix the remote 
INBOX into my local INBOX.  I just want to dump it somewhere else so that I 
have it.

I use the Path keyword to specify a different location to dump all of the other 
folders being backed up -- plus the MapInbox copy -- so I actually end up with 
exactly what I want.  Again, the only problem is that it ALSO syncs the remote 
INBOX to my local INBOX -- regardless of what I specify.

Am I missing some obvious way to do this?  Basically, if I just wanted to back 
up a remote IMAP INBOX to a local IMAP with some other name (e.g. 
"backup-INBOX") and not put it into the local IMAP INBOX, can that be done with 
mbsync?

Thank you!
