Oh, I meant mailbox_alloc() actually. mail_namespace_find_inbox() returns the
INBOX's namespace, but I think above I meant opening the hidden snarf-INBOX.
But you probably do need mail_namespace_find*() to find the snarf namespace by
its configured prefix.

Destination mailbox is always the default INBOX (and that you can find with the
mail_namespace_find_inbox()). So something like:
src = mailbox_alloc(snarf_ns->list, "INBOX");
dest = mailbox_alloc(inbox_ns->list, "INBOX");
