[MlMt] enhancement, I think

[Volker Kopetzky]

+1 for the export/import user story. From my side that would suffice:

1. export mailbox configuration on desktop
2. copy one file over to laptop
3. import mailbox configuration into laptop
   - overwrite mailbox settings
      - mailboxes
      - Conditions
      - Submailbox settings
      - Rules
   - ? import tags (if tags have internal IDs, they could also be 
overwritten?)
   - ? how to handle a mailbox that exists on the target but not in the 
source?
