There are slashes / in folder names that are not separators. How can I keep them or change them in the destination account with imapsync? A. You can't do it properly with imapsync or any other IMAP client. By default, imapsync will consider those / characters as separators and get empty folders where they stand. If you change "/" to another character, say "_", with --regextrans2, then all / are transformed to _ and the folder hierarchy disappears. Solution? Yes. Change the / on the source account manually, using the same email tool that allowed to create them, the David Tobit native email client tool.
