 Q. For some messages, the imapsync log says

+Q. I have an "could not append" error with "Message contains invalid header" 
+   at the end, like:
+   Err 1/20: - msg INBOX/6 {40666} could not append ... NO Message contains invalid header
+   What can I do to transfer these emails?
+
+R0. Append in the IMAP protocol is the command to add a message in the folder.
+    The error string "NO. Message contains invalid header" comes from the 
+    destination IMAP server at host2, it doesn't like the message and rejects it.
+   
+R1. Header lines must be in 7bit encoding.
+   If they aren't in 7bit the IMAP server can refuse them as they break 
+   the IMAP RFC specification.
+
+   A solution is to transform all 8bit characters to the X character with:
+   
+   imapsync ... --regexmess 'tr [\x80-\xff] [X]'
+
+   Caveat: this transformation transforms both the email header and its body.
+   It's not perfect but I guess it's better than no message transferred.
+
+R2. Some crappy email systems, like virus checkers or any other crappy 
+    software tool dealing with your messages, can add headers to tell 
+    the world that they've done a great job. But sometimes they didn't,
+    and they fucked up your messages by not respecting the standard
+    and added ugly non-rfc compliant headers.
+    
+    To remove an ugly header, let's call it "X-Spam-Report", that spreads over 
+    several lines beginning or, that's the ugly part, not beginning with a space:
+
+    imapsync ... --regexmess 's{X-Spam-Report:.*?\n(^[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+:|^\r?\n)}{$1}xms'

+R0. Append errors are host2 problems, append is the imap term to copy

+    A problem is that the assosiated "socket closed ..." error message happens
+    for several different issues. So I list here several potential issues

+Q. What is the bandwidth used by imapsync?
+
+Now the questions again with their answers.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. What is the bandwidth used by imapsync?
+
+R. From the host where imapsync runs, it opens two imap connections, 
+   one with the source account at host1, one with the destination 
+   account at host2.
+   
+   So, the global bandwidth used is twice the volume of the source 
+   account, one volume to download the messages from host1, 
+   one volume to upload those messages to host2.
+   
+   If the host2 is already filled with the messages, imapsync doesn't
+   transfer them and then the volume transferred is small, this volume
+   is just the IMAP commands needed to identify the messages on both sides.
+   
+   There is no local cache of the email messages, except when the
+   message is very big, it is temporarily saved locally. 
+   
+   The biggest message seen so far on online /X is 3.08 GiB
+   while the biggest message transferred is 1.51 GiB so
+   I suspect a bug here. Drop me a note if you encounter the same
+   issue, I'll then dig into it, ie, I'll create a 2 or 3 GiB message
+   and play with it :-)

+
+Q. I'm migrating from WU to Cyrus, and the mail folders are under
+   /home/user/mail directory.  When imapsync creates the folders in
+   the new cyrus imap server, it makes a folder "mail" and below that
+   folder puts all the mail folders the user have in /home/user/mail,

+Q. Migrating from Groupwise to Cyrus
+
+Now the questions again with their answers.
+
+
+======================================================================
+Q. How to migrate from cyrus with an admin account?
+
+R. Use:
+ 
+ imapsync ... \
+   --authuser1 admin_user  ----password1 admin_user_password \
+   --user1 foo_user --ssl1
+
+Instead of --ssl1 the alternative --tls1 can be used.
+With --authuser1, the option --authmech1 PLAIN is set
+automatically, you don't have to add it.
+
+PLAIN authentication is the only way to go with --authuser1 for now.
+So don't use --authmech1 SOMETHING with --authuser1 admin_user,
+it will not work.
+Same behavior with the --authuser2 option.
+
+Do not forget the option --ssl1 or --tls1 since PLAIN auth is only
+supported with ssl encryption most of the time. But it can
+work without --ssl1 nor --tls1 if PLAIN is permitted in clear text
+transmissions (the normal mode).
+
+Add the AdminAccount to admins line in /etc/imapd.conf
+Give AdminAccount lrswipkxtecda to the Cyrus Imap account 
+being migrated from, "joe" here.
+
+
+Here is an example:
+ imapsync \
+	--host1 server1 \
+	--user1 joe \
+	--authuser1 AdminAccount \

+Q. I'm migrating from WU to Cyrus, and the mail folders are under
+   /home/user/mail directory.  When imapsync creates the folders in
+   the new cyrus imap server, it makes a folder "mail" and below that
+   folder puts all the mail folders the user have in /home/user/mail,
+   i would like to have all those folders directly under INBOX.
+
+R. Use 
+   imapsync ... --regextrans2 's/^mail/INBOX/' --dry
+   look at the simulation and if all transformations seem
+   good then remove the --dry option.

+=======================================================================
+Q. Migrating from Groupwise to Cyrus
+
+R. By Jamie Neil:
+
+I eventually managed to get the mail to migrate without errors using the 
+following options:
+
+--maxage 3650
+  - some messages just don't seem to want to transfer and produce the 
+    perl errors I mentioned before. This prevents the errors, but the
+    bad messages don't transfer.
+
+Even though the mail migrated OK, there are a couple of gotchas with 
+Groupwise IMAP:
+
+1) Some of the GW folders are not real folders and are not available
+to IMAP, the main problem one being "Sent Items". I could find no way
+of coping the contents of these folders. The nearest I got was to
+create a "real" folder and copy/move the sent items into it, but
+imapsync still didn't see the messages (I think because there is
+something funny about the reported dates/sizes).
+
+It think this problem has been rectified in GW6.5.
+
+2) Version 6.0.1 of the Groupwise Internet Connector sucks. I was 
+getting server aborts when I pushed it a bit hard! I eventually had to
+upgrade to 6.0.4 which seems to be a lot more stable.

+=======================================================================
+Q. imapsync doesn't synchronize duplicates by default but I want to.
+   How can I synchronize duplicates?
+
+R. Use the option --useuid
+   If you have already synchronized two mailboxes without --useuid then
+   using it right away will generate duplicates on host2. To avoid that
+   behavior, you have to perform a first run with --usecache to build
+   the local UID cache. Then the next runs with --useuid 
+
+   There are potentially issues with --usecache. They can be solved.
+   Read the document FAQ.Use_cache.txt 
+   https://imapsync.lamiral.info/FAQ.d/FAQ.Use_cache.txt
+
+   So to finalise how to synchronize duplicates:
+   
+   imapsync ... --tmpdir . --usecache 
+
+   imapsync ... --tmpdir . --useuid
+   imapsync ... --tmpdir . --useuid
+   ...
+
+   Here --tmpdir value is the dot "." meaning "current directory".
+   Surrounding it with double-quotes is optional.
+
+   If the two mailboxes haven't been already synchronized then the
+   first run with --usecache is useless.
+
+   I shall add an option --syncduplicates that syncs duplicates 
+   without any cache needed and make it the default but it's not 
+   coded yet.

+R2. Microsoft introduced something called "security defaults" which is

+R3. I want to migrate to Exchange 2019. I haven't been able to sync
+using admin credentials even if I've tried and made all the
+configuration mentioned in the FAQ.Exchange.
+The error was always "LOGIN failed".
+
+My problem was that I have been used an admin account which haven’t
+attached a mailbox in Exchange. This is my admin account which I use
+only for configuration in Exchange, not for emails.
+
+So, after I’ve created in Exchange a mailbox for this user, the sync
+started to work.  I can confirm that imapsync is working for Exchange
+2019, with plain authentication, and full permissions of admin account
+(this account must have mailbox attached) applied to regular user
+mailbox account.
+
+It doesn't work with the --authuser2 parameter. The syntax that
+works for me is:
+
+  imapsync ... --host2 192.168.xxx.yyy  --user2 domain.local\admin.account\regular.user --password2 "xxxxxxx"

-
-R0. To fix this, add --exclude Files
-
-  imapsync ... --exclude Files
-
-  If you use --office1 then imapsync will add this exclusion 
-  automatically like using  the option:

-  The host2 account ends up with a folder named 
-  "Files_renamed_by_imapsync", but no complaining.
-
-R1. This folder "Files" seems to be a standard folder in Exchange Online, 
-   but it is not. The folder contains all attachments in every email 
-   that is in the mailbox, but without any headers.
-   This causes some confusion for users as these appear in their

+Q. From FirstClass to XXX
+   http://www.firstclass.com/
+
+R. Migrating from FirstClass is not easy because FirstClass, strangely, 
+   does not show all messages via IMAP. To make it show all messages,
+   a trick, painful to follow by hand, is moving emails 
+   out and back in, for each folder. May be it can be done by a script.
+
+  FirstClass releases prior to release 12 do not shows the "Sent" 
+  folder in IMAP but FirstClass release 12 shows it.
+  I advice you to upgrade to FirstClass release 12 before leaving it
+  with imapsync or another imap tool.
+
+Here is a command line used to migrate from FirtClass release 12:
+
+  imapsync ... \
+    --tmpdir /var/tmp --usecache \
+    --useheader Message-ID \
+    --idatefromheader \

+Q. What is the imapsync default behaviour with folders?
+
+R. Imapsync syncs all folders, one by one, in alphanumeric order,
+   reproducing their name identical from the source account at host1 to 
+   the destination account at host2, except for the prefix and the 
+   separator which are automatically adapted for host2.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. What encoding imapsync uses to deal with folder names?
+
+
+R. The IMAP protocol has a specific way to code folders names,
 especially when these names use non-ascii 7bit characters.
 This encoding is called utf7imap.

-Q. Can I transfer "Chat" messages with imapsync?
+Q. I want to sync the Sent folder only, what is it on Gmail?
+
+R1. Use:
+
+  imapsync ... --folder "[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
+
+R2. In fact, by configuration from the user, it can be another folder 
+    name presented in IMAP. Use --automap --dry to see this mapping.
+    See below 
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. The context is a Gmail account at the source, but not Gmail at the
+destination. I want cross-duplicates, different Gmail folders/labels
+generating duplicate messages across folders on the destination,
+except for the "All Mail" folder.
+
+R. This behavior, different Gmail labels generating duplicates across
+folders except for the "All Mail" folder, is obtained with a
+synchronization with no --gmail1 but instead --exclude "All Mail"
+followed by another synchronization with --gmail1 but without
+--exclude "All Mail".
+
+  imapsync ... --exclude "All Mail"
+  imapsync ... --gmail1
+
+This second sync is done to get the messages with no labels at all
+from the folder "All Mail", if they are some of them.
+
+Technically speaking, the first synchronization has not the option
+--skipcrossduplicates but the second one has the option
+--skipcrossduplicates and it also performs the Gmail "All Mail"
+folder/label at the end so only the messages that have no labels will
+end up in the "All Mail" destination folder (which is not Gmail,
+remember the context).
+
+Thanks to Mike Alexander for this suggestion. 
+Mike also provided a patch to implement that directly in imapsync.
+See https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/pull/266
+(I refused it because well maintaining it will be very hard for me
+and I have other priorities).

+   "Sent" "Trash" "Drafts" "Junk" "Flagged" and "All"?
+
+R. By default, Gmail imap names of the folders 
+   "Sent" "Trash" "Drafts" "Junk" "Flagged" and "All"
+   are like this:
+
+Turned on automapping folders ( use --noautomap to turn off automapping )

+Q. What does imapsync with big messages?
+
+R. By default, imapsync checks if the host2 imap server announces a

+
+Option --office1 is like (release 1.970):
+  
+  imapsync ... --host1 outlook.office365.com \
+               --ssl1 \
+               --exclude "^Files$"

+https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/troubleshoot/configure-mailboxes/pop3-imap-owa-activesync-office-365
+
+If IMAP cannot be enabled or if it doesn't work well, you can try DavMail 
+(http://davmail.sourceforge.net/) which acts as an IMAP gateway 
+through Outlook Web Access.
+
+R. Here is a command-line resume that solves most encountered issues when 
+   migrating to Office365.
+
+    imapsync ... --office2
+
+which is equivalent to (in imapsync release 1.870):
+
+  imapsync ... \
+    --host2 outlook.office365.com \
+    --ssl2 \
+    --maxsize 45000000 \
+    --maxmessagespersecond 4 \
+    --disarmreadreceipts \
+    --regexmess "s,(.{10239}),$1\r\n,g" \
+    --f1f2 "Files=Files_renamed_by_imapsync"
+
+
+On Linux, you can also try the "reformime" command 
+that can be used like:
+
+  imapsync ... --maxlinelengthcmd "reformime -r7"
+
+To get reformime, install the "maildrop" package.
+
+On Linux again, there is a good Python script in the tarball that can 
+fix several things that Exchange or O365 have issues with.
+
+Use it like this:
+
+  ./imapsync ... --pipemess W/tools/fix_email_for_exchange.py
+
+It often does some miracles on messages.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. For Office365 I have double and triple-checked the username and
+   password spelling but I still get a "LOGIN failed". Any clue?
+
+R0. Imapsync doesn't support OAUTH2 authentication for Office365 accounts yet.
+
+R1. Disable double-step authentication, also known as 2-factor,
+    2-step authentication on the Azure/Active Directory portal.
+
+R2. Also, check a license is assigned to that account in Office365.
+
+R3. Microsoft introduced something called "security defaults" which is enabled
+by default for new tenants. One of the rules blocks IMAP access as of imapsync. 
+The funny thing is that you can't disable single rules of this security 
+package without buying additional licenses.
+Switching the whole thing off allows the login.0
+Also, disable double-step authentication on the Azure/Active Directory portal.
+See here:
+https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/concept-fundamentals-security-defaults
+Thanks to Stephan Buhre for this R3 answer.
+
+R4. Are there special characters in the password?

+    https://imapsync.lamiral.info/FAQ.d/FAQ.Passwords_on_Mac.txt
+
+R5. Triple check the hostname then. Try all of these:
+ * outlook.office365.com
+ * imap-mail.outlook.com
+ * imap.outlook.com
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. I see "NO Maximum size of appendable message has been exceeded"
+   What can I do with that?
+
+
+R. Office365 supports send/receive max message sizes of up to 150MB 
+   but you need to make changes in your tenant(s) to support it.
+
+The following PowerShell command will increase the message sizes that 
+can be sent/received.  The trick in getting IMAPSync to work is to 
+apply these settings to the accounts performing the migration,
+NOT the accounts associated with the target mailbox (assuming you're
+using service accounts to perform transfers on behalf of users).
+
+  Set-mailbox -Identity $UPN -MaxReceiveSize 150mb -MaxSendSize 150mb
+
+e.g. 
+
+  Set-mailbox -Identity "migrationaccount@testtenant.onmicrosoft.com" -MaxReceiveSize 150mb -MaxSendSize 150mb
+
+We're transferring data between Office 365 tenants so we set these 
+values on the migration accounts in the source and target tenants.
+
+Thanks to Sean McDougall, Ian Thomas & Matt Wilks from Toronto 
+for this FAQ item.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. The imap connection to Office365 is not working very efficiently,
+   is there a solution to fix that?
+
+R. Yes. Try DavMail
+   http://davmail.sourceforge.net/
+   I don't use it myself but a user, Yannick Palanque,  reported great results using it.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. The sync fails with many "Trying command when NOT connected!".
+   What can I do?
+
+R. The --debugimap option can show you more details, especially some
+   message like:
+   "BAD Request is throttled. Suggested Backoff Time: 178755 milliseconds"
+   In that case, see the next faq item and its fixes.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. Office365 throttles the sync and says: 
+   "Request is throttled. Suggested Backoff Time: 299961 milliseconds".
+   What can I do with that?
+
+R. Office365 has throttle mechanisms to limit any huge usage.
+   Sometimes imapsync transfers are too stressful for servers.
+   The following message 
+   "Request is throttled. Suggested Backoff Time: 299961 milliseconds"
+   comes from the imap Office365 server, imapsync just reports it
+   before being disconnected from it.
+
+   To solve the throttles issues from 0365, there are two solutions
+   at least:
+
+R1. Call Microsoft Office365 and ask them to remove the limits on your 
+  mailboxes. That's not a joke, they do it for 90 days usually, 
+  sometimes only after you reach the second technician you call, 
+  the first one usually be not enough competent to understand 
+  what you're talking about (I would be glad to remove this bad
+  fact).
+
+R2. Play with options --maxbytespersecond or --maxmessagespersecond
+    or --exitwhenover
+
+  imapsync ... --maxbytespersecond 100_000
+
+  imapsync ... --maxmessagespersecond 2
+
+  imapsync ... --exitwhenover 1_000_000_000
+
+I don't know the upper value that avoids the default throttling from 0365
+and I guess it changes over time.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. Office365 refuses to create the folder named "Files" with the error
+   "NO Folder name is reserved". What happens?
+
+R. The folder Files is a standard folder in Office365.
+   It should not be synced in IMAP. See the next question.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. Office365 users complain that a folder named "Files" contains 
+   messages with no sender.
+
+R0. To fix this, add --exclude Files
+
+  imapsync ... --exclude Files
+
+  If you use --office1 then imapsync will add this exclusion 
+  automatically like using  the option:
+  
+  imapsync ... --exclude "^Files$" 
+
+  If you use --office2 then imapsync will add a renaming of any
+  "Files" folder on host1, like using the option:
+  
+  imapsync ... --f1f2 "Files=Files_renamed_by_imapsync"
+
+  The host2 account ends up with a folder named 
+  "Files_renamed_by_imapsync", but no complaining.
+
+R1. This folder "Files" seems to be a standard folder in Exchange Online, 
+   but it is not. This folder contains all attachments in every email 
+   that is in the mailbox but without any headers.
+   This causes some confusion for users as these appear in their search
+   results as duplicate lines but without the sender details or even
+   the message body.
+
+   This folder seems to be usually hidden so IMAP clients can’t see it, 
+   but for some reason sometimes it becomes visible.
+
+R2. It looks to be a common problem with Exchange Online. 
+    I’m not sure what causes the folder to appear.

+
+=======================================================================
+Q. From XXX to Office365, read receipts are all resent again after sync.
+   Even for old messages. How can I fix that?
+
+R. Imapsync can remove the header containing this read-receipt request.
+
+On Unix or Windows use:
+
+  imapsync ... --disarmreadreceipts
+
+Since read receipts should be sent for unseen messages that will go 
+to a seen state after the migration, you could be strict and apply 
+the regex only to seen messages. 
+Selecting seen message can be done with:
+
+  imapsync ... --search1 "SEEN" --disarmreadreceipts
+
+A second run has to be run without the --disarmreadreceipts
+for unseen messages:
+
+  imapsync ... --search1 "UNSEEN" 
+
+If fact --disarmreadreceipts is just an option equivalent to:
+
+  --regexmess 's{\A(.*?(?! ^$))^Disposition-Notification-To:(.*?)$}{$1X-Disposition-Notification-To:$2}igxms' 
+
+That regex changes the header Disposition-Notification-To. It prefixes
+it with an X- so that it becomes inactive.
+Disposition-Notification-To: blabla
+becomes
+X-Disposition-Notification-To: blabla
+
+Thanks to David Karnowski for pointing and solving this issue.

+Q. DEBUG: IO/Socket/SSL.pm:1043: local error: SSL read error
+   DEBUG: IO/Socket/SSL.pm:1043: local error: SSL read error   
+
+R1. "SSL read or write error" happens sometimes, it isn't related to 
+    imapsync directly but to the ssl underlying library when communicating
+    with Exchange in TLS/SSL encrypted mode. 
+    Next runs should put the sync further, so rerun the syncs 
+    until it is well completed.
+
+R2. Another solution is to remove --tls or --ssl options for Exchange
+    and accept clear text syncs.
+
+R3. See also the FAQ FAQ.SSL_errors.txt
+    https://imapsync.lamiral.info/FAQ.d/FAQ.SSL_errors.txt
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. From XXX Office365 I get this error message sometimes: 
+   "BAD Command Argument Error 11". What does it mean?
+
+R. This error message comes from the Office365 IMAP server when it 
+   encounters any problem. Most of the time it is one of the following:
+
+  * Some messages are bigger than the size limit. 
+    45 MB by default on Office365.
+    I don't know if it can be upped by configuration for Office365.
+    If you can't fix this limit on Office365 then use the option
+    --maxsize 45000000 for 45 MB to tell imapsync to skip those messages.
+
+  imapsync ... --maxsize 45000000 # 45 MB for Office365
+  
+
+  * Quota reached. The whole account is full.
+    It can be upped by configuration.
+
+  * You use --synclabels --resynclabels from a previous command line 
+    related to syncing from Gmail to Gmail. Remove them.
+
+  * Some messages have some lines too long. Use option --maxlinelength
+    to skip messages whose max line length is over some bytes.
+    --maxlinelength 1000 is an RFC2822 must but most servers support
+    higher values. Exchange supports 9900 characters line length:
+
+  imapsync ... --maxlinelength 9900 
+
+    Office365 supports 10500 characters line length:
+
+  imapsync ... --maxlinelength 10500
+
+  In case you prefer fixing messages with long lines the hard way,
+  instead of skipping them with --maxlinelength 9900, just use:
+
+  On Windows
+  imapsync ... --regexmess "s,(.{9900}),$1\r\n,g"
+
+  On Unix
+  imapsync ... --regexmess 's,(.{9900}),$1\r\n,g'
+  
+Have also in mind that Exchange closes the connection after 10 errors
+encountered so you might also see "BYE Connection closed" errors from
+Exchange, which means Exchange leaves the session and says goodbye,
+come back later. Redo some sync then.
+
+On Linux, there is a good Python script in the tarball that can 
+fix several things that Office365 has issues with.
+
+Use it like this:
+
+  ./imapsync ... --pipemess W/tools/fix_email_for_exchange.py
+
+It often does some miracles on messages.
+It's called fix_email_for_exchange because Office365 is Exchange,
+or at least started to be an Exchange server with the same issues.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. From XXX to Office365 the flag Flagged does not seem to be well synced. 
+   What can I do?
+
+R. Use the following trick. Run imapsync twice, one with --regexflag
+   and one without, like this:
+
+1) imapsync ... --regexflag "s/\\Flagged//g"
+2) imapsync ...
+
+You can add --debugflags if you want to see what imapsync gets and 
+does in detail with flags.
+
+The magic of this trick is on ignoring the \Flagged flag on the first 
+sync and setting it on the second sync, with STORE instead of APPEND.
+This Exchange bug seems that Exchange gets and sets well the Flagged 
+flag with APPEND in IMAP but then it forgets it with other protocols;
+With STORE it sets and gets the "\Flagged" flag everywhere.
+
+Thanks to Dave Murray and Simon Savva for reporting and solving 
+this issue.
+
+======================================================================
+Q. How to migrate from or to Office 365 with an admin/authuser account?
+
+Note from Yago Torres Fernandez:
+(a working command using admin/authuser on host2 Office 365)
+
+  imapsync ... --authuser2 user_admin@domain.com --user2 user_to_be_migrated@domain.com  ^
+               --password2 XXXX --ssl2  ^
+
+but previously in Office365, you must do something like the following, using Powershell:
+
+  Add-MailboxPermission -identity user_to_be_migrated@domain.com -user user_admin@domain.com -accessrights fullaccess -inheritancetype all
+
+
+Note from Betsy Lawlor: You can use global modern authentication with two factor 
+on Exchange Online (M365) but you must have "AllowBasicAuthImap" on the admin account you are using to migrate the mail.
+
+Remark: PLAIN authentication is the only way to go with --authuser1 for now.
+So don't use --authmech1 SOMETHING with --authuser1 admin_user,
+it will not work.
+Same behavior with the --authuser2 option.
+
+Note from Rafael Alvarez Ballesteros:
+When you get an Office365 license you will receive an admin user to handle
+your licenses and products like admin@yourcompanyname.onmicrosoft.com.
+This account is the administrator account; some weeks or months ago Microsoft 
+has decided you need to use two-factor authentication by default, 
+so if two factors authentication is enabled you will no be able to sync 
+the mail (it will not connect to host2).
+OWA (I think this is the two-factor authentication) needs to be disabled 
+globally and enabled individually on the users you want to.
+One account can have the rights to access other mailboxes no matter if admin or 
+any other account but needs to have OWA disabled to be able to connect 
+to the office365 server.
+
+Note from Martin Paulucci:
+I had to remove the domain part for the user
+but not for the admin.  Example:
+
+  imapsync ... --authuser2 user_admin@domain.com --user2 user_to_be_migrated

+Date:    Mon, 1 Jun 2015 17:53:54 +0000
+
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. Couldn't create folder [trash] "Mailbox already exists".
+
+R. Some servers take care of character cases in folder names, 
+   some servers do not, like Exchange. Since not respecting the case can merge
+   two different folders into one then imapsync respects the case. 
+
+   For example, if a host1 server has a folder name called "trash"
+   and the host2 server already has a folder "Trash" or "TRASH"
+   then imapsync will try to create the folder "trash" on host2
+   because trash and Trash are different strings. But if host2
+   does not respect character case it will consider folder "trash"
+   already exists and will say it. That's the error message reported
+   by imapsync: "Mailbox already exists". This message comes from the server.
+
+   The folder creation fails but messages are well transferred in
+   so take a look at this warning, understand why it happens
+   and it should be fine most of the time.
+
+   To avoid this warning use --regextrans2 to map the folder names
+
+   imapsync ...  --regextrans2 "s/^trash$/Trash/"
+
+   If there are two folders Trash and trash on host1 then both
+   will be merged into only one Trash folder on host2. 
+   In case of the option --delete2 is used the regextans2 above becomes
+   mandatory, otherwise imapsync will sync messages from the
+   first Trash and then delete them when syncing trash.
+
+   If you want to avoid merging folders that are considered different 
+   on host1 but are considered the same on destination host2 because of
+   case sensitivities and insensitivities, use  --nomixfolders

-Q. What is the bandwidth used by imapsync?
+Q. Give me some design ideas of imapsync
 
-R. From the host where imapsync runs, it opens two imap connections, 
+R.
-   one with the source account at host1, one with the destination 
-   account at host2.
 
-   So, the global bandwidth used is twice the volume of the source 
+* No configuration file
-   account, one volume to download the messages from host1, 
+* Stateless
-   one volume to upload those messages to host2.
+* Rsync in mind
+* Reliable
+* Robuste
+* The user is not an expert, help him with:
+  * Good behavior by default. 
+  * No harm by default. 
+  * Prefer fixing an issue in the code than documenting the issue
+  * Inline help suggestions
 
-   If the host2 is already filled with the messages, imapsync doesn't
+Consequences of those design ideas:
-   transfer them and then the volume transferred is small, just the IMAP
+
-   commands to identify the messages on both sides.
+* Stateless: 
+
+   * A sync can be done by another tool before or after imapsync, it is
+   safe as long as the other tools don't modify the messages' headers 
+   "Message-Id:" and "Received:", or at least "Message-Id:".

+             Two ways sync with Imapsync 
+=======================================================================
+
+
+Questions answered in this FAQ are:
+
+Q. Can Imapsync do a good "two ways" sync? 
+   No. Why?
+
+
+Now the questions again with their answers.
+
+=======================================================================
+Q. Can Imapsync do a good "two ways" sync? 
+   No. Why?
+
+R. Imapsync can't do good two ways syncs.
+
+A good "two ways" sync is impossible with imapsync because imapsync is
+stateless.
+
+Each time imapsync runs, it considers messages and folders as if it
+were the first time it encounters them. Imapsync looks at messages,
+flags, and folders as they are now, not considering what they were
+before. Imapsync has no memory outside the current running sync.
+
+So now, why a stateless behavior cannot handle well a two ways sync
+between an account A and an account B?
+
+The problem arises with deletions, messages deletions, folders
+deletions, or movings, messages movings across folders, folders
+movings, and also folders renamings. Deletions and moves are ambiguous
+changes when combined with creations on the opposite side.
+ 
+For example, when a message is deleted from A by a user, imapsync
+cannot know whether it is a message deleted from A that has to be
+deleted in B (what the user did) or a missing message from B that has
+to be copied to A.
+
+But if you know the answer yourself, that missing messages on one side
+A are deleted messages that have to be deleted on the other side then
+run a sync with the --delete2 option from A to B.
+
+If you know that the missing messages on A are missing messages from B
+that has to be copied to A then run a sync from B to A.
+
+If you know it's a mixed scenario then you are in trouble and so you
+end up with a not very good "two ways" sync. I suggest avoiding
+deletions in that case, which is the default imapsync behavior.
+
+With a two ways sync, the mailbox user is very surprised and
+disapointed when his actions (deletions, renamings, or movings) come
+back.

+=======================================================================
+Q. On Windows, with --useuid and after a reboot or a new login, a new
+   run generates duplicates. What can I do to avoid and fix that?
+
+R. The cache is build in a temporary directory. Imapsync uses a system
+call to get this temporary directory, it is not hardcoded and it
+is system dependent, the call garanties a write access. Sometimes on 
+Windows this directory name changes upon reboot or for any other reason. 
+Anyway, the temporary directory used by imapsync can be set by the 
+option --tmpdir and that's the way to avoid this issue. 
+The new problem is that the temporary directory must be writable, which

-Q. I'm migrating from WU to Cyrus, and the mail folders are under
-   /home/user/mail directory.  When imapsync creates the folders in
-   the new cyrus imap server, it makes a folder "mail" and below that
-   folder puts all the mail folders the user have in /home/user/mail,
-   i would like to have all those folders directly under INBOX.

-Q. Migrating from Groupwise to Cyrus
-
-R. By Jamie Neil:
-
-I eventually managed to get the mail to migrate without errors using the 
-following options:
-
---maxage 3650
-  - some messages just don't seem to want to transfer and produce the 
-    perl errors I mentioned before. This prevents the errors, but the
-    bad messages don't transfer.
-
-Even though the mail migrated OK, there are a couple of gotchas with 
-Groupwise IMAP:
-
-1) Some of the GW folders are not real folders and are not available
-to IMAP, the main problem one being "Sent Items". I could find no way
-of coping the contents of these folders. The nearest I got was to
-create a "real" folder and copy/move the sent items into it, but
-imapsync still didn't see the messages (I think because there is
-something funny about the reported dates/sizes).
-
-It think this problem has been rectified in GW6.5.
-
-2) Version 6.0.1 of the Groupwise Internet Connector sucks. I was 
-getting server aborts when I pushed it a bit hard! I eventually had to
-upgrade to 6.0.4 which seems to be a lot more stable.

-Q. From FirstClass to XXX

-R. Migrating from FirstClass is not easy because FirstClass, strangely, 
-   does not show all messages via IMAP. To make it show all messages,
-   a trick, painful to follow by hand, is moving emails 
-   out and back in, for each folder. May be it can be done by a script.

-
-SSL is mandatory for yahoo since November 2011.
-
-Why increasing --errorsmax to 10000?
-Because during the sync you may encounter several lines like this one:
-- msg Inbox/12600 {0} S[36012] F[] I[27-Nov-2015 07:08:35 +0000] could not be fetched: 190 NO [UNAVAILABLE] UID FETCH Server error while fetching messages

-I don't know why it happens, why Yahoo server says 
-"NO [UNAVAILABLE] UID FETCH Server error while fetching messages"
-Usually another run syncs the message successfully.
-
-Why --noabletosearch option?
-Yahoo IMAP does not honor well the SEARCH imap command (Dec 2017).
-So don't use the --search option.
-You can use --minage or/and --maxage but then add also --noabletosearch
-
-Yahoo bandwidth per connection is relatively low, 50 KiB/s to 500 KiB/s max, usually 100 KiB/s.
-Consider using --useuid to speed up large accounts.
