<h1>Welcome to the imapsync web site!</h1>
</div>
<h2>What is imapsync?</h2>
<p>
The purpose of imapsync is to <b>migrate</b> IMAP accounts or to <b>backup</b> IMAP accounts.
IMAP is one of the three current standard protocols to access mailboxes,
the two other are POP3 and HTTP with webmails (often tied to an IMAP server).
</p>
<p><b>imapsync</b> software is a command line tool that allows incremental and
recursive <b>IMAP</b> transfers from one mailbox to another, both anywhere on the internet
or in your local network.
"Incremental" means you can stop the transfer at any time
and restart it later efficiently.
"Recursive" means the complete folders hierarchy can be copied.
"Command line" means it's not a graphical tool, on Windows you have to run imapsync in a DOS box
(cmd.exe) or from a <a href="#DOC_BASIC">batch file</a>.
</p>
<p>
<b>imapsync can't migrate Contacts and Calendars</b>.
Most email systems don't set or get Contacts or Calendars via the IMAP protocol.
No way via IMAP, no way via imapsync
(but it can be done with other tools or via export/import of csv or ics files).
</p>
<p>
<b>imapsync</b> is not suitable for maintaining a synchronization between two active imap accounts while the user
is working on both sides.
Use <a href="http://offlineimap.org/"><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>bidirectionnal (2 ways) synchronizations</b>.
</p>
<p>Alternatives to imapsync are listed in the <a href="#similar"><b>Similar softwares</b></a> section.
</p>
<h2><a id="NUMBERS"></a>Facts and figures for 2011-2013</h2>
<ul>
<li><b>4000 to 5000 </b>users per month (45000 users a year)</li>
<li><b>6 to 25 millions mailboxes transfers per month</b>,
total is 93 millions for 2011, 91 millions for 2012, should be <b>110 millions for end 2013</b></li>
<li><b>Operating systems</b> run by imapsync users:
<ul>
<li><b>Linux: 72%</b></li>
<li><b>Win32: 13%</b></li>
<li><b>Darwin: 6%</b></li>
<li>FreeBSD: 8%</li>
<li>Solaris: 0.2%</li>
<li>OpenBSD: 0.02%</li>
<li>Other: 0.6%</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Highest use rate</b>: about <b>21 millions</b> of IMAP mailbox transfers (in a single month)</li>
</ul>
<p>
Where all those numbers come from?
To know wether a newer imapsync exists or not imapsync does a http GET to <a href="http://imapsync.lamiral.info/VERSION">VERSION</a>.
Via the <b>User-agent</b> parameter it also send:</p>
<ul>
<li>imapsync release</li>
<li>Perl version</li>
<li>Mail::IMAPClient version</li>
<li>Operating System</li>
</ul>
<p>You can <b>remove this behavior</b> by adding option <b>--noreleasecheck</b> on the command line (or by setting $releasecheck = 0 in the source code)

<ul>
<li><b>1.567</b> imapsync.exe crash fix</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --authmech EXTERNAL.</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Fixed a warning when RFC822.SIZE is null or undef.</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Fixed imapsync.exe crash with no error message when it exits on a error. Back to Perl 5.16</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.564</b> QQMail support</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Adapted behavior for allowing --maxdate --mindate with --noabletosearch.
Use internat date instead of Date: header.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: QQMail IMAP4Server success (with --noabletosearch option) </li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Apply same treatment to --delete2duplicates as --delete2.
If --uidexpunge2 can be done, do it, else do --expunge2 (unless --nouidexpunge2 or --noexpunge2).</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added --addheader suggestion in outpout in case messages with no header are found.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added --timeout in the --help output. Default timeout is 120 seconds now
(was nothing by imapsync, 600 with underlying modules).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.558</b> SSL fix.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement/Bug fix</b>: Added --ssl1_SSL_version and --ssl2_SSL_version to force the SSL_version
in case the default auto-negociation does not work. Example: <b>--ssl1 --ssl1_SSL_version SSLv3</b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.555</b> Better Office365 and Mailenable handling</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option --messageidnodomain to fix Mailenable bug changing the domain part of Message-Id header, and avoid duplicates</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option --syncflagsaftercopy to fix Mailenable bug not getting the flags with the APPEND</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--maxlinelength</b> to skip messages whose max line length is over a number of bytes.
Exchange 2013 and Office365 need <b>--maxlinelength 1000</b> (which is a RFC2822 must) to avoid disconnections.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added back the banner of IMAP servers, ie, the first line given after the connection established.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added --fixInboxINBOX, turned on by default, to map automatically Inbox INBOX folder names.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: IMAP server removing consecutive spaces on the header part doesn't generate duplicates (MailEnable does that)</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Better output of mailbox sizes in human style (could be 1024.00 Kib, now it is 1.000 Mib). Changed bytes_display_string(). </li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Option --debugflags now prints flags on first sync (the copy) and also the PERMANENTFLAGS outpout.</li>
<li><b>Refactoring</b>: Fixed nearly 200 perlcritic at level 3, all level 4. Still 5 eval "" at level 5 and 12 critics at level 3. Nobody cares but me.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.547</b> Nothing important except imapsync.exe supports also XOAUTH.</li>

<li><b>Refactoring</b>: Started perlcritic corrections. Left 4 eval at level 5.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.536</b></li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added <b>--search1</b> and <b>--search2</b> to allow different searches on each host.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Speed up when messages are selected by --minage, --maxage or --search, (used to SEARCH ALL messages) </li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added --delete1 as an alias for --delete</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Applied Phil patch to improve the lost connection behavior</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Applied Phil patch to remove useless warnings</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.525</b></li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Handles the case where <b>several folders</b> on host1 <b>go to one folder</b> on host2 with <b>--delete2</b> option. The bug was imapsync was copying messages and deleting them on next folder.</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Removed reference to DWTFPL since <b>license is <a href="LICENSE">NOLIMIT</a></b> since June 2012.</li>
<li><b>Speed</b>: Option <b>--nocheckmessageexists is activated by default</b> since --checkmessageexists often slow down transfers too much.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Reorganized the --help message.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Option --foldersizesatend is on if --foldersizes is on. Off if --nofoldersizesatend</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.518</b></li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: When identtifying with header, change tabulations to spaces
(Gmail bug with "Received:" header on multilines).</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Bugfix. Automatic --nocheckmessageexists when --noabletosearch is set.</li>
</ul>
<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 --sep1 is character / and --sep2 is not 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>
<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>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Previous fix about characters <kbd>*|?:"&lt;&gt;</kbd> to <kbd>_</kbd>
in cache path was not complete.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.504</b></li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--nocheckmessageexists</b> to <b>speed up</b> with <b>Tobit imap server</b> as host1.</li>
<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>*|?:"&lt;&gt;</kbd> to <kbd>_</kbd> in cache paths because they are forbidden on Windows paths.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.500</b></li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--nocheckselectable</b> to fix INBOX issue with Jana-server.</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>
</ul>
<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&amp;answer=1071518">this Gmail constraint</a>
<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>
<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>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.476</b></li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Default headers used to identify a message are now "Message-Id" and "Received"
(<b>Exchange compatibility</b> bu default).</li>
<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>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --nofilterflags to check any STORE flags
by ignoring PERMANENTFLAGS (Exchange tests)</li>

<h2><a id="imap_server_success"></a>Lists of imap server software failures and success stories</h2>
<p>Let's start with reported <b>failure stories</b> over the past.<br/>
Maybe <b>new imapsync releases can run successfully with them</b>.<br/>
Don't hesitate to have a try, It's been a long since last failure occured,
I will help you and make efforts to switch them to the success list,
I like it.
</p>
<ul>
<li>DBMail 0.9, 2.0.7 (GPL). But most other DBMail releases are supported (see below)</li>
<li><b>Hotmail</b> since hotmail.com does not provide IMAP access</li>
<li>Imail 7.04 (maybe).</li>
<li>MailEnable 1.54 (Proprietary) but MailEnable 4.23 is supported. </li>
<li>(2011) <b>MDaemon 12.0.3</b> as <b>host2</b>
but MDaemon is <b>supported as host1</b>.
MDaemon is simply buggy with the APPEND IMAP command with any IMAP email client.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Now the long reported <b>success stories</b> list: <b>
55 different imap server softwares supported!</b><br/>
[host1] means "source server" and [host2] means "destination server":
