We'll have to agree to disagree. ~/.gitconfig and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config are semantically the same thing. > >I can use "begin", or I can use "start" instead. Can they be the same > >thing? Ostensibly yes. > > > these are obviously synonyms, without semantic difference. Exactly. In other words: two different ways of saying the same thing. Just like `Inbox = ~/mail/inbox` and `Path = ~/mail/; MapIndex = inbox`, which the user would be totally justified in deducing from the documentation. > >I explicitly said I used "MapInbox inbox".

Then what is it doing in "All Stores"? It belongs in "IMAP Stores". Or better yet: 1) if users can't seem to understand what it does 2) nobody uses it, and 3) the main developer doesn't even recall what it's for, maybe deprecate it. Googling for "mbysyncrc MapInbox" shows only 1) man pages, 2) copies of src/mbsyncrc.sample, and 3) users confused about its meaning in isync-devel: https://isync-devel.narkive.com/kiY5fr7p/sync-remote-inbox-to-different-local-name-imap-to-imap https://www.mail-archive.com/isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00437.html So the answer to my original question "Does MapInbox work?" seems to be: not for anything the vast majority of users would care about.
