dovecot - Feb 2021 - doveadm sync different local vs remote account/mailbox name

I'm, trying to sync/backup mailboxes from a current dovecot instance to a
new server.
But the old server has real system accounts. 
The new server has virtual users.
And the account/user-name is different.

Example: Joe Sixpack is 
joes (on the old system)
but is
joes at sixpack.org (on the new system.)

I'm using something like this to attempt the sync
doveadm  -o mail_fsync=never backup -R -u joes at sixpack.org imapc:

This works from the new system, as it recognizes the user with a full
@domain.com username - but the old system doesn't know who joes at
sixpack.org is - and just wants joes.

I don't see a way to specify the remote account username independently from
the local one.
What's the best way to handle this?

TIA
-Greg

Following up on my own post - partial potential solution, and additional
questions.

So, it *looks* like using something like "auth_username_format = %Ln"
on the old server dovecot config will fix the problem I outlined below. (I still
need to try it, and since it's a production server, I need to be careful
when/how I do that.)

But this doesn't solve a similar issue I can certainly see happening.
Lets say, on the new server and old server, I'm actually syncing different
accounts.
Say on the old server it's joes
But on the new server, it's sallys
(Joe decided they'd rather be called Sally.)

So, I'm trying to sync the joes mailbox on the old system with the sallys
mailbox on the new one.

Is there a way that handles that?
And if so, it would also allow me to solve this with the problem outlined in the
prior post by supplying the source and destination mailboxes individually /
separately.

Thanks again!
