Anyone with experience using imapsync

[Rob Tanner]

David,

I tried various combinations based on your suggestions.  The --prefix2 
"INBOX."  was the most interesting.  Instead of userxyz, I ended up with 
INBOXxyz.  Just a variation on the same problem. 

One thing I did forget to mention.  The saslauthd program is pointing to 
the shadow file at the moment, and none of the folks (ultimately I need 
to move about 4,500 accounts) are in the shadow file.  I have to 
eventually switch the pointer to LDAP but that requires some other prep 
that I'm not yet ready for.  But could that possibly explain my problem?
