I'm writing a script to migrate imap accounts.
On my source server prefix is empty and separaror is /
On destination server prefix is INBOX. and separator is .

Problem is that source accounts inbox is considered as subfolder and is migrated to destination servers INBOX.INBOX subfolder. How do I migrate that folder to destination accounts inbox? here is the code: 

for my $folder ($imap->folders) {
        $imap->select($folder) or warn "Error: $imap->LastError\n";
        #$folder =~ s/INBOX$//g; # If I try this, mail::IMAPClient tri
+es to create subfolder and exits.
        $folder =~ s/^$prefix1/$prefix2/g;
        $folder =~ s/$sep1/$sep2/g;
        $imap->migrate( $imap2, "ALL", $folder ) or warn "Error: $imap
+->LastError\n";
}

So basically what's happening is that folder /INBOX is migrated to INBOX.INBOX and it should be migrated to INBOX.

Update
I tried to modify $folder with this: 

$folder =~ s/INBOX$//g

But then mail::IMAPClient tries to create subfolder and exits.
