So that transfers everything except the contents of the INBOX. 

Could not create folder [Shared Folders/shared/secretary/] from [INBOX]:
14 NO Mailbox already exists

It seems that it thinks this is an error and then doesn't transfer the
mail when really its not an error it just tried to create something that
already existed? I wonder if that's a bug in imapsync or not but you'd
think it would be able to detect the existence of a folder. That's
pretty crucial to its main function so I wonder what's going wrong here.

Anyone have any ideas?
