If you never intend to create new folders on the LOCAL repository that need to be synced to the REMOTE repository, it is sufficient to create a nametrans rule on the remote Repository section. This will be used to determine the names of new folder names on the LOCAL repository, and to match existing folders that correspond.

**A:** Generally use the folder separator as defined in the repository you write the nametrans rule for. That is, use '/' in the above case. We will pass in the untranslated name of the IMAP folder as parameter (here `f`). The translated name will ultimately have all folder separators be replaced with the destination repositories' folder separator.

So if ̀f` was "Sent", the first nametrans yields the translated name "INBOX/Sent" to be used on the other side. As that repository uses the folder separator '.' rather than '/', the ultimate name to be used will be "INBOX.Sent".
