Imapsync presentation by Gilles
</p>
<p>
Imapsync is an <b>IMAP transfers tool</b>.
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 used to access mailboxes,
the two other are POP3 and HTTP with webmails,
webmails are often tied to an IMAP server.
</p>
<p>Latest imapsync published release <!--#exec cmd="cat ./VERSION| tr -d '\n'" -->
was written on <!--#flastmod file="VERSION" -->
</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. Imapsync runs on <b>Windows</b>, <b>Linux</b>, <b>Mac OS X</b>.
"<b>Incremental</b>" means you can stop the transfer at any time
and restart it later efficiently, without generating duplicates.
"<b>Recursive</b>" means the complete folders hierarchy can be copied, all folders, all subfolders etc.
"<b>Command line</b>" means it's not a graphical tool, on Windows you have to run imapsync
from a <a href="#DOC_BASIC">batch file</a>.
Anyway there is a visual online service,
you can try imapsync online at <a href="https://i005.lamiral.info/X/">https://i005.lamiral.info/X/</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.
Also consider using <a href="http://caldavsynchronizer.org/">caldavsynchronizer</a>
or asking experts at <a href="https://twitter.com/sumatra_dev">Sumatra company</a>.
</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="S/external.shtml"><b>Similar softwares</b></a> section.
</p>
<!--
<p>Imapsync used to be free, open and gratis, that was before November 2010.
Now imapsync is free, open and not gratis from the homepage.
Imapsync is still under the <a href="./NOLIMIT">NOLIMIT</a> license,
claiming no limit to do anything with this work and this license,
so one of the most open license of the universe.
It is the best decision I've made about imapsync in order to continue to maintain it.
See detailed explanation and motivation here when
<a href="http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync_list/msg00459.html">I looked for a business model</a>.
"Download and donate if happy" doesn't work well.
"Pay for download and I pay back if unhappy" works well, a 100 times better.

There is no trial version but I offer <b>30-day money back guarantee</b> whatever the
reason for a refund. Or drop me a gentle email and I will provide you the latest imapsync because,
well, you made the effort to contact me.<br />
After downloading imapsync, go to the <a href="#install">installation</a> documentation.
</p>
<p>
<big>
<b>Special</b> offer: it's only <b>&euro;120 EUR</b> if you buy
<b>imapsync</b> + <b>support</b> at once
</big> (instead of 60 + 120 = 180 EUR).
</p>
<p>For <b>&euro;120 EUR</b> you will get:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Imapsync <b>full professional support</b> (that costs also &euro;120 EUR by itself, see why below).</li>
<li>Standalone <b>imapsync.exe</b> for win32, easy installation done by a zip extraction anywhere.
See <a href="README_Windows.txt">README_Windows.txt</a> for details.</li>
<li>Standalone <b>imapsync_bin_Darwin</b> for Mac OS X. (not Catalina ready because of the new signature mechanism)</li>
<li>Imapsync Perl <b>source code</b> for any operating system, Unix, Windows, OS X.</li>
<li>The <b>online visual interface</b>, like <b><a href="https://i005.lamiral.info/X/">/X</a></b>,
to install the service on a <b>Linux server</b> (not working on Windows yet).</li>
<li><b>Lifetime</b> of imapsync <b>updates</b> without extra payment.</li>
<li><b>30-day money back guarantee!</b> No question nor condition to get a refund, really, just request it and you'll sure get a refund!</li>
<li><a href="NOLIMIT" >No limit</a> to do anything with imapsync and its license.</li>
</ul>
<p>For <b>&euro;60 EUR</b> you will get all the above except imapsync <b>full professional support</b> (the first line).
</p>
<p>
For <b>&euro;120 EUR</b> independently, you get imapsync <b>full professional support</b>,
provided by the imapsync designer and developer, Gilles LAMIRAL, your servitor, who has
been supporting imap migrations with imapsync for more than 18 years (I started in 2001).
See a detailed <a href="#SUPPORT"><b>support description</b></a> below.
</p>
<p>
You may wonder <b>why the support alone is the same price as imapsync+support?</b> it's
because when you buy both at once, I'm not sure I will have to spend some time
directly with you, it's possible that everything will go smoothly for you;
but when you buy the support alone, after buying the software,
then I will surely spend time (any amount of hours) to help you.
Does it seem fair enough?

<h3>Support <a href="#TOP" id="SUPPORT"><small>(back to menu)</small></a>

<p>For those of you who seek support, <b>contact me</b>, Gilles LAMIRAL, by email or phone:</p>
<ul>

<li>Desk phone number: <b>+33 9 51 84 42 42</b> located in France.</li>

-->
</ul>
<p>The support is done in English, <b>mostly by email</b> or possibly phone/skype.
Office hours start at 10:00, end at 16:00 UTC, extra time is possible in case of emergency.
The <b>support aims at helping you to get your imap migration job done</b>, quickly if possible.
Support includes things like <b>no time to read the documentation</b>,
how to deal with special imap software servers (Gmail, Office365, Exchange etc.),
choosing and explaining options, explaining error messages,
solving authentication issues,
dealing with speed, quotas, special context,
running in parallel, etc., so in summary: <b>anything!</b>
</p>
<p>
I have been supporting imap migrations with imapsync since 2001, I still enjoy it!
</p>
<h3>Payment by bank transfer and IBAN <a href="#TOP" id="IBAN"><small>(back to menu)</small></a>
</h3>
<p>If you can't pay with a credit card via Paypal then it is possible to pay via a bank transfer.
</p>
<p>Refund for a bank transfer is far less easy than with Paypal so drop me an email to test imapsync
and to be sure it will do what you need it to do, before any payment.<br />
The bank account references will be given upon request.
</p>
<p>
It will surely add extra work editing manually the invoice, back and forth getting good coordinates,
so I will charge both software and support normal prices for a payment via bank transfer,
that is 120 EUR.

<h2>Facts and figures <a href="#TOP" id="NUMBERS"><small>(back to menu)</small></a>
</h2>
<ul>
<li><b>6000 to 7000 </b>users per month (48000 users a year).</li>
<li>11 to 16 millions mailboxes transfers per month.</li>
<li><b>159 millions</b> transfers for 2019,
that is five whole mailboxes complitely synced per second in average (159*10^6/365/24/3600),
and an estimation of 71 Petabytes ( 1 PiB = 2^50 bytes = 1024^5 ~ 10^15) transferred in total in 2019,
taking a mean of 500 Mbytes per transfer (an estimated mean given by online /X real stats).
71 Petabytes = 500*10^6*159*10^6. The global internet traffic of 2019 was 2004 Exabytes so imapsync
is a very very tiny thing (35 per million).
</li>
<li>
<b>159 millions</b> transfers for 2019.
That's nearly 717 millions email messages transferred by imapsync every day (1600*164/366)
taking a mean of 1600 messages per transfer (an estimated mean given by online /X real stats).
The internet global estimated number of messages sent every day is 300 billions in 2019
(10% being non-spam but that's another story...).
So imapsync does 0.24% of all email trafic, not that bad for a command line tool!
</li>
<li><b>Operating systems</b> run by imapsync users (in 2019):
<ul>
<li><b>Linux: 68%</b></li>
<li><b>Win32: 18%</b></li>
<li><b>Darwin: 13%</b></li>
<li><b>FreeBSD: 0.92%</b></li>
<li>OpenBSD: 0.05%</li>
<li>Solaris: 0.03%</li>
<li>Cygwin: 0%</li>
<li>Unknown: 0%</li>
<li>Other: 0%</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Highest use rate</b>: about <b>56 millions</b> of IMAP mailbox transfers by just one host.</li>
<li><b>Biggest known account</b> migrated: <b>2.4 millions folders</b> (figure independently reported).</li>
</ul>
<p>
The figures presented here do not include the github imapsync release usage.
It's because --noreleasecheck is on by default since release 1.592 (2014/05/22)
in the github release.
Looking at the numbers before and after 2014, the figures showed here
could be doubled.
</p>
<p>
Where all those numbers come from?
To know whether a newer imapsync exists or not, imapsync does a http GET to the file
<a href="http://imapsync.lamiral.info/VERSION">VERSION</a>.
Via the <b>User-agent</b> parameter it also sends:</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).
Check <a href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2013-4279">CVE-2013-4279</a>.
</p>
<h2>How to transfer a single mailbox on Windows <a href="#TOP" id="DOC_BASIC"><small>(back to menu)</small></a>
</h2>
<p>
After Imapsync installation, a basic (and really working) example in a DOS window is the following: </p>
<pre>.\imapsync.exe ^
--host1 test1.lamiral.info ^
--user1 test1 ^
--password1 "secret1" ^
--host2 test2.lamiral.info ^
--user2 test2 ^
--password2 "secret2"
</pre>
<p>But it's better to edit a batch file and run it by a double-click.
Take this batch file example <b><a href="./examples/imapsync_example.bat">imapsync_example.bat</a></b>
and adapt with your own parameters.
</p>
<h2>How to transfer a single mailbox on Linux/Unix <a href="#TOP" id="DOC_BASIC_UNIX"><small>(back to menu)</small></a>
</h2>
<p>
After Imapsync installation, a basic (and really working) example in a shell terminal is the following: </p>

--user1 test1 \
--password1 "secret1" \
--host2 test2.lamiral.info \
--user2 test2 \

</pre>
<p>
But it's better to edit a shell script and run it in a terminal.
Take this Bourne shell script example <b><a href="./examples/imapsync_example.sh">imapsync_example.sh</a></b>
and adapt with your own parameters.
</p>
<h2>How to transfer many mailboxes <a href="#TOP" id="DOC_MASS"><small>(back to menu)</small></a>
</h2>
<p>
In order to migrate many mailboxes, you should use a loop over a csv
file containing only the data credentials.<br />
On Windows, see <b><a href="./examples/sync_loop_windows.bat">sync_loop_windows.bat</a></b>
batch example.<br />
On Unix, see <b><a href="./examples/sync_loop_unix.sh">sync_loop_unix.sh</a></b>
example.<br />
An example of this csv file is <b><a href="./examples/file.txt">file.txt</a></b>,
it can be used with the two previous command scripts.<br />
All example scripts can be found in the <a href="examples/">examples/*</a> directory.

<h2>Installation <a href="#TOP" id="install"><small>(back to menu)</small></a>
</h2>
<p>
Hardware system requirements:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>500 MB of RAM</b> is ok. The mean value RAM used per imapsync process is 230 MB.</li>
<li><b>Any CPU</b> is ok.</li>
<li><b>100 MB of disk space</b> is far enough.</li>
<li><b>Any network link</b> is ok. The average bandwidth rate is 345 KiB/s ~ 2.8 Mbps.</li>
