Imapsync issues with passwords on Unix.

Q. On Unix, some passwords contain some *(),;& characters. Login fails.
|
|
|
|
R1. Enclose the password within single-quotes in the imapsync
|
|
command line:
|
|
|
|
imapsync ... --password1 'passw*(),;&rd'
|
|
|
|
R2. If R1 fails, with very old imapsync or old Mail::IMAPClient Perl module,
|
|
try also using double-quotes within single-quotes. It will enclose
|
|
the password within double-quotes in the imap LOGIN command:
|
|
|
|
imapsync ... --password1 '"passw*(),;&rd"'
|
