Q. Synchronizing from XXX to Yahoo
|
||
|
||
Now the questions again with their answers.
|

|

=======================================================================
|
||
Q. Synchronizing from Yahoo to XXX
|
||
|
||
R. Use --host1 imap.mail.yahoo.com
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
./imapsync \
|
||
--host1 imap.mail.yahoo.com \
|
||
--user1 Billy@yahoo.com \
|
||
--password1 billysecreta \
|
||
--host2 XXX \
|
||
--user2 Billy@other.com \
|
||
--password2 billysecretb
|
||
|
||
|
||
You also need to go to Yahoo, security and enable
|
||
"Allow less secure apps to login",
|
||
otherwise the login will not work.
|
||
|
||
To enable less secure apps to login:
|
||
* Login to the Yahoo mail account,
|
||
* click on the account name or the avatar and select "Account Info",
|
||
* click on "Account security",
|
||
* turn off "Two steps verification"
|
||
* turn on "Allow apps that use less secure authentication".
|
||
|
||
Thanks to Eugen Mayer for this last point.
|
||
|
||
Another solution:
|
||
|
||
* Login to the Yahoo mail account,
|
||
* click on the account name or the avatar and select "Account Info",
|
||
* click on "Account security",
|
||
* Turn on "Two-step verification"
|
||
* Click on "Manage app passwords" and
|
||
generate a specific password for imapsync,
|
||
choose "Other app" at the bottom and type imapsync
|
||
since it is not in the predefined apps.
|
||
* Use this password with imapsync.

||
Q. Synchronizing from XXX to Yahoo
|
||
|
||
R. Example:
|
||
|
||
On Linux:
|
||
./imapsync \
|
||
--host1 XXX \
|
||
--user1 Billy@other.com \
|
||
--password1 billysecreta \
|
||
--host2 imap.mail.yahoo.com \
|
||
--user2 Billy@yahoo.com \
|
||
--password2 billysecretb \
|
||
--regexmess 's{(?<![\n])\z}{\r\n}gxms'
|
||
|
||
On Windows:
|
||
imapsync.exe \
|
||
--host1 XXX \
|
||
--user1 Billy@other.com \
|
||
--password1 billysecreta \
|
||
--host2 imap.mail.yahoo.com \
|
||
--user2 Billy@yahoo.com \
|
||
--password2 billysecretb \
|
||
--regexmess "s{(?<![\n])\z}{\r\n}gxms"
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
You wonder why there is this ugly regex, what it does and where does it
|
||
come from?
|
||
|
||
It's there to get rid of the errors
|
||
"BAD [CLIENTBUG] Additional arguments found after last expected argument"
|
||
when copying some messages to Yahoo.
|
||
It adds a final \r\n on a message if a final \r\n is missing.
|
||
See https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/issues/209
|
||
|
||
https://imapsync.lamiral.info/README
|
||
...
|
||
--regexmess reg : Apply the whole regex to each message before transfer.
|
||
Example: 's/\000/ /g' # to replace null by space.
|
||
--regexmess reg : and this one, etc.
