Imapsync command is a tool allowing incremental and
|
|
|
|
|
recursive imap transfers from one mailbox to another.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
By default all folders are transferred, recursively, all
|
|
|
|
|
possible flags (\eSeen \eAnswered \eFlagged etc.) are synced too.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
We sometimes need to transfer mailboxes from one imap server to
|
|
|
|
|
another. This is called migration.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
Imapsync reduces the amount
|
|
|
|
|
of data transferred by not transferring a given message
|
|
|
|
|
if it resides already on both sides. Same specific headers
|
|
|
|
|
and the transfer is done only once; taken into account are by default
|
|
|
|
|
Message-Id and Received header lines.
|
|
|
|
|
All flags are
|
|
|
|
|
preserved, unread will stay unread, read will stay read,
|
|
|
|
|
deleted will stay deleted. You can stop the transfer at any
|
|
|
|
|
time and restart it later, imapsync works well with bad
|
|
|
|
|
connections and interruptions.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
You can decide to delete the messages from the source mailbox
|
|
|
|
|
after a successful transfer, it can be a good feature when migrating
|
|
|
|
|
live mailboxes since messages will be only on one side.
|
|
|
|
|
In that case, use the \-\-delete option. Option \-\-delete implies
|
|
|

also option \-\-expunge so all messages marked deleted on host1

will be really deleted.

A different scenario is synchronizing a mailbox B from another mailbox A
|
|
|
|
|
in case you just want to keep a \*(L"live\*(R" copy of A in B.
|
|
|
|
|
In that case \-\-delete2 has to be used, it deletes messages in host2
|
|
|
|
|
folder B that are not in host1 folder A. If you also need to destroy
|
|
|
|
|
host2 folders that are not in host1 then use \-\-delete2folders (see also

\&\-\-delete2foldersonly and \-\-delete2foldersbutnot).

Imapsync is not adequate for maintaining two active imap accounts

in synchronization when the user plays independently on both sides.

Use offlineimap (written by John Goerzen) or mbsync (written by

I wrote imapsync because an enterprise (basystemes) paid me to install
|
|
|
|
|
a new imap server without losing huge old mailboxes located on a far
|
|
|
|
|
away remote imap server accessible by a low bandwidth link. The tool
|
|
|
|
|
imapcp (written in python) could not help me because I had to verify
|
|
|
|
|
every mailbox was well transferred and delete it after a good
|
|
|
|
|
transfer. imapsync started its life as a copy_folder.pl patch.
|
|
|
|
|
The tool copy_folder.pl comes from the Mail\-IMAPClient\-2.1.3 perl
|
|
|
|
|
module tarball source (in the examples/ directory of the tarball).

You can use \-\-passfile1 instead of \-\-password1 to give the

|
|
|

password since it is safer. With \-\-password1 option any user
|
|
|
|
|
on your host can see the password by using the 'ps auxwwww'
|
|
|
|
|
command. Using a variable (like \f(CW$PASSWORD1\fR) is also
|
|
|
|
|
dangerous because of the 'ps auxwwwwe' command. So, saving
|
|
|
|
|
the password in a well protected file (600 or rw\-\-\-\-\-\-\-) is
|
|
|
|

the best solution.

\&\-\-authuser1 \*(L"adminuser\*(R" to enable this on host1. In this
