That's not where the problem is. I'm alway using slash at the end of
both folders. I run always rsync -n -rcv --delete backup/ mail/ and
rsync randomly repors that Jira should be synced or not if I run this
command five times in a row in 1 second interval.

$ ls backup/ mail/
backup/:
Afolder         Deleted Items   INBOX           MBox            Sent Items
Calendar        Dfolder         Jira            Outbox          Tasks
Cfolder         Drafts          Journal         Procedures      Tickets
Contacts        Gfolder         Lfolder         Projects

mail/:
Afolder         Deleted Items   INBOX           MBox            Sent Items
Calendar        Dfolder         Jira            Outbox          Tasks
Cfolder         Drafts          Journal         Procedures      Tickets
Contacts        Gfolder         Lfolder         Projects

Also, diff -ruN -x INBOX backup/ mail/ doesn't give any output, as all
is identical in backup/ and mail/ (except INBOX like explained in my
other email).
