=============================
  Imapsync tips for Domino.
=============================


=======================================================================
Q. From Domino Notes to XXX

R1. Use --domino1, like this:

  imapsync ... --domino1


R2. Or use the following options:

On Windows use:

  imapsync.exe ... --sep1 "\\" --prefix1 "" --messageidnodomain

On Unix use:

  imapsync ... --sep1 '\' --prefix1 '' --messageidnodomain

Q. From XXX to Domino Notes

R1. Use --domino2, like this:

  imapsync ... --domino2


R2. Or follow this:

Domino doesn't accept INBOX subfolders. 

On Windows:

  imapsync.exe ... ^
    --sep2 "\\" --prefix2 "" --messageidnodomain ^
    --regextrans2 "s,^Inbox\\(.*),$1,i"  

On Unix:

  imapsync ... \
    --sep2 '\' --prefix2 '' --messageidnodomain \
    --regextrans2 's,^Inbox\\(.*),$1,i'

If you want to sync the complete host1 mailbox in a subfolder called OLDBOX use:

On Windows:
  imapsync.exe ... ^
    --sep2 "\\" --prefix2 "" --messageidnodomain ^
    --subfolder2 "OLDBOX" --justfolders --dry

On Unix:
  imapsync ... \
  --sep2 '\' --prefix2 '' --messageidnodomain \
  --subfolder2 'OLDBOX' --justfolders --dry
    
If the output is correct for you then remove --dry and have a run.
Verify the folder hierarchy is good on host2 then remove --justfolders to
sync the messages.

For Domino with imapsync and Domino on Linux:
(Thanks to Zafer)

R. We've migrated about 5000 users from cyrus to lotus domino 853! 
Mails are being copied into the new created lotus domino mailbox 
retaining the existing folder structure from the old mail database.
This means that sent mails can be found in the sent folder and 
mails from the old inbox are copied into the new inbox
We also marked migrated mails with the header Migratedbyus

For Domino 853FP6 on Linux, we used this command on Unix:

  imapsync \
  --host1 hhh1  --user1 uuu1  --password1 ppp1 \
  --host2 hhh2  --user2 uuu2  --password2 ppp2 \
  --exclude "^INBOX/Trash"  --exclude 'Junk|Drafts' \
  --regextrans2 's#^INBOX/Sent$#^Sent#' \
  --prefix2 ""  --sep2 "\/" --messageidnodomain \
  --regexmess 's{\A(.*?(?! ^$))^Date:(.*?)$}{$1Migratedbyus:$2\nx-MailDate:$2}gxms'
