accoring to the imap spec, differing capitalizations of INBOX are
irrelevant - it's always the same box.

however, now that i think of it, mbsync is broken in this regard (it
fails to make the pattern matching case insensitive). i should fix that.

if you're in a hurry, we're in workaround land now.
i think you can script it: first use mbsync -l to get a list of folders,
and have the script generate a list of actual channels from that
according to your mapping rules, and bind them in a group. then run the
actual sync.
this should be particularly feasible if this is a one-off migration.

double transfer seems likely, but i didn't think too much about it. i'm
pretty sure nothing good will come out of it.
