  Please excuse me for starting *so* basic.

  It seems that your problem is sysadmin stuff: copy a user's imap mail
folders from one place to another.

  All the times I needed to do this kind of stuff, I used some ackward
combination of tar, gzip, scp, ssh and perl.

  I think this would work better for you than a "tool" that "copy (imap)
files and folders".

  Just my two pence.
