Hi, 
I'll try to :) From my investigations I would say that you need to configure 
Server2 on your client. 
The IMAP Server supports Mailbox-Referrals in principle but they seemed not to 
be used. This would indeed be a nice feature because it could  simplify my 
setup on the client. But I'm not sure about the reasons why this referrals 
are not used.
Can someone here on the list bring some light in this issue? 

Best,
Torsten
