This risks to be impossible without some tweaking as long as you use the default (MBOX) format because many IMAP servers support mailboxes which can contain both messages and mailboxes. In the file system, this is impossible: files can't contain other files. So if you have "folder" and "folder/subfolder" on server, the migrate tool create the following locally: - directory "folder" - file/mailbox "folder/subfolder" with the messages of subfolder - file "folder.messages" with the messages of folder itself BB> Is there any way to update my local copy rather than re-dumping BB> everything? Unless you delete the messages from the server, no. Be warned that although moving (i.e. migrating and then clearing) and then migrating again should work, I did *not* try it myself so please do make backup of all your mail before trying it.
