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?
