Does Imapsync move the Children?

If it is just the one mailbox, I would be tempted to take the easy
way out and make it selectable on the Dovecot server.

There is this in the changelog:

1.500
Enhancement: Added option --nocheckselectable to fix INBOX issue with Jana-server.

Perhaps that would convince imapsync to create the mailbox on host2?
I have not used it.

Users may be surprised if they are suddenly subscribed to folders
that they had previously unsubscribed in order to avoid syncing
that data to their mobile devices.
