moving inbox from uw-imap to cyrus

[Sebastian Hagedorn]

Hi,

-- Joseph Silverman <yossie at laszlosystems.com> is rumored to have mumbled 
on 2. Dezember 2005 15:37:20 -0800 regarding moving inbox from uw-imap to 
cyrus:

I'm not sure I understand you correctly. The INBOX is just called (with 
variations that depend on your imapd.conf settings), for instance, 
"user/yossie". If you do proxy authentication (using admin for 
authentication and actual user for authorization), which may be a little 
"cleaner", then it's always called "INBOX". I don't know if imapsync allows 
for proxy authentication.

Cheers, Sebastian
