weird. try 'mbsync -ls' for starters.
if that looks good, try 'mbsync -l'.
if that still looks good, it's presumably not a user error.
in that case try syncing only one failing mailbox (YYY:INBOX/XXX).
add -D to the above command and the normal YYY run, und mail me the
logs.

folders need to be renamed.
it's possible that this is in fact the root cause of the above problem,
but that depends on your exact config.
