<h2>What is imapsync?</h2>
2011-03-12 03:44:55 +01:00
<p><b>imapsync</b> software is a command line tool allowing incremental and
2012-04-17 00:28:48 +02:00
recursive <b>IMAP</b> transfers from one mailbox to another, both anywhere on the internet
2012-04-17 00:30:19 +02:00
or in your local network. "Incremental" means you can stop the transfer at any time
2012-11-27 23:32:36 +01:00
and restart it later efficiently. "Recursive" means all folders hierarchy can be copied.
"Command line" means it's not a graphical tool, imapsync on Windows has to be run in a DOS box
(cmd.exe) or from a <a href="#DOC_BASIC">batch file</a>.
2011-03-12 03:45:01 +01:00
</p>
2011-03-12 03:44:59 +01:00
2011-03-12 03:45:01 +01:00
<p><b>imapsync</b> is useful for imap account <b>migration</b> or imap account <b>backup</b>.
</p>
2011-03-12 03:44:59 +01:00
2012-04-17 00:28:48 +02:00
<p><b>imapsync</b> is <b>not adequate</b> for maintaining two active imap accounts
in synchronization where the user plays independently on both sides.
Use <a href="https://github.com/nicolas33/offlineimap"><b>offlineimap</b></a> (written by John Goerzen)
or <a href="http://isync.sourceforge.net/"><b>mbsync</b></a> (written by Michael R. Elkins)
for <b>2 ways synchronizations</b>.

<ul>
<li><b>1.516</b></li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added <b>host2 minus host1 statistic</b>: number of messages and bytes.
One difference at the start and one at the end.
Useful to <b>detect quickly a difference between host2 and host1</b>.
Need both --foldersizes and --foldersizesatend options (which are on by default).</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added <b>--foldersizesatend</b>. It gets the folders sizes at the end of the whole transfer.
Turned on by default (use --nofoldersizesatend to turn it off).</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--delete2duplicates</b>; it deletes messages in host2 that are duplicates.
--delete2duplicates is on when --delete2 is set unless --nodelete2duplicates is set too.
</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added <b>current date at the beginning</b> of the run,
useful when imapsync doesn't end properly or hasn't finished yet.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--pidfilelocking</b>; it aborts imapsync, when just launched,
in case another imapsync may be running.
Turned off by default</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added option <b>--showpasswords</b>. it shows passwords on output instead of "MASKED".
Turned off by default.
Useful to restart a run by reading the log or to see what happen with special characters.
</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Added option <b>--fixslash2</b> to avoid the '<b>Invalid mailbox name</b>' error.
It acts when --sep2 is not character / and --sep1 is character / and host1 folder name contains --sep2 characters.
Turned on by default (--nofixslash2 to unable it).</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--noabletosearch</b> to allow the listing of messages without the imap "SEARCH ALL" command.
It's useful for playing with poor imap servers like <b>Softalk 7.6.4</b> (8.6 is fine with SEARCH ALL).</li>
</ul>
2012-09-12 03:50:53 +02:00
<ul>
<li><b>1.508</b></li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: imapsync guesses and <b>prints when it'll finish</b> the transfer; added <b>ETA</b> after each copy (Estimated Time of Arrival)</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added <b>--noexpungeaftereach</b> to speedup --delete --expunge from Gmail.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added Host1 or Host2 before "Nb messages" "Total size" with --foldersiszes (to facilitate parsing)</li>
2012-11-27 23:32:36 +01:00
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Previous fix about characters <kbd>*|?:"<></kbd> to <kbd>_</kbd> in cache path was not complete.</li>

2012-09-03 02:08:57 +02:00
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added <b>transfer rate</b> and number of messages rate <b>after each copy</b>.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Use Time::HiRes time to get time with better precesion than the second.</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Convert characters <kbd>*|?:"<></kbd> to <kbd>_</kbd> in cache paths because they are forbidden on Windows paths.</li>

<li><b>Bug fix</b>: The cache system didn't work in Win32 (problem with \ transformation).</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Check the return of touch calls for the cache. </li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Example for --delete2foldersbutnot "m/Contacts|Agenda|Trash/"</li>

2012-09-03 02:08:57 +02:00
2012-04-17 00:31:15 +02:00
<ul>
<li><b>1.484</b></li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Back to select() (read-write mode) instead of examine() (read-only mode in 1.468) on host1. <b>Needed with --delete</b></li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option --exitwhenover option <b>to avoid locking</b> when transfers exceed maximum limit.
See for example <a href="http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1071518">this Gmail constraint</a>
2012-09-03 02:08:57 +02:00
<ul>
<li>imapsync ... --exitwhenover 2500000000 # 2.5GB if <b>host1 is Gmail</b></li>
<li>imapsync ... --exitwhenover 500000000 # 500MB if <b>host2 is Gmail</b></li>
</ul>
</li>
2012-04-17 00:31:15 +02:00
<li><b>Usability</b>: Unified outout in --debug mode. Lines start with Host1 or Host2.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Changed output about messages ignored to better reflect what is going on.</li>

<li><b>1.476</b></li>
2012-09-03 02:08:57 +02:00
<li><b>Usability</b>: Default headers used to identify a message are now "Message-Id" and "Received" (<b>Exchange compatibility</b> bu default).</li>
2012-04-17 00:30:19 +02:00
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option --addheader to fix the issue
"ignored (no header so we ignore this message)" (on <b>Sent</b> folder usually).
Thanks to Ameir Abdeldayem</li>
2012-09-03 02:08:57 +02:00
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --nofilterflags to check any STORE flags by ignoring PERMANENTFLAGS (Exchange tests)</li>

<h2>Online IMAP migration services</h2>

<p>I have no share in these free or paid services.
I don't think they use imapsync.
Prices are given par mailbox and may be outdated (december 2011).</p>
