SUGGESTED 2022_05_05 by mao13820 https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/issues/330#issuecomment-1118190081 Try IO::Socket::Socks::Wrapper on Socks server. SUGGESTED 2022_02_19 Talk about size discrepencies. Gmail doesn't count duplicates sizes twice. Servers reported message sizes are always not the actual messages sizes. Where put that information?

R. @duelhost.dk I am trying to move some e-mail using imapsync but the domain I'm moving to have the Danish "ø"-character which it doesn't seem like imapsync can handle. Make a functional test of this scenario. SUGGESTED 2021_01_26 by Gilles and Mike https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/pull/266 Maybe Gmail has changed and that currently "All Mail" really contains all emails with all the labels well set to do a good Gmail to Gmail sync but I have to investigate on that. SUGGESTED 2020_12_11 by Gilles Look at XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE for iCloud imap service Apple (Is it Dovecot masquerade?) SUGGESTED 2020_12_11 by Gilles Check my Office365 account (outlook.com) and play with the configuration to still allow imap with imapsync. It already works but it is an old account. It looks like new O365 accounts are less likely to allow basic LOGIN imap with a password. SUGGESTED 2020_12_11 by Timo Smit Allow the syntax --host1 "example.com/Sent" to sync the Sent folder recursively. Well, what to do when the folder separator is the dot character . Solution: syntax --host1 "example.com/INBOX.Sent" SUGGESTED 2020_11_30 by Gilles Add a FAQ.Invalid_Argument.txt This error is a low level connection issue, either ipv6 or dns resolution of the name. SUGGESTED 2020_11_24 by Gilles On Centos 8 SELinux is blocking imapsync online /X by default. Dig into this to find the commands that will allow only the online /X service. Instead of: sestatus setenforce 0 sestatus SUGGESTED 2020_11_21 by Mike Alexander https://github.com/mtalexander and Wittmer, Christian https://github.com/computersalat Make a "make github" target in Makefile and add an automatic git tag 1.977 # (not 1.977 of course, the actual release number) https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/issues/156 https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/issues/251 SUGGESTED 2020_11_01 bilogic How to uninstalled cpanm modules installed by cpanm and installed by perl -Mlazy imapsync https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/issues/211#issuecomment-719889417 SUGGESTED 2020_11_04 by Tim O (and others before) Add an option to sync newest emails first. SUGGESTED 2020_10_15 by Alexander Perlis Bugfix. With --delete1 duplicate messages on host1 are deleted only one at a time, one at each run. Imapsync should delete them all on first pass. Add --delete1duplicates SUGGESTED 2020_09_22 by Jon Ward --idatefromreceivedheader As I thought about how this option works, I wondered if it makes more sense to use the date from the final RECEIVED header rather than the DATE header? This seems like a better solution since it avoids the case of wrong or spoofed times in the DATE header. Also, I would guess that in most cases the final RECEIVED header is for the closest server (to me) and is probably the most correct date/time. SUGGESTED 2020_09_17 by Peter Franken I found a bug: If I use the parameters "--subfolder1 Sent/2017 --subfolder2 Sent/2017", the mails from "Sent/2017" on Host 1 are transferred to "Sent/2017/INBOX" on Host 2. ============================================================================== OAUTH2 requests Readings https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2 https://www.oauth.com/oauth2-servers/client-registration/client-id-secret/ https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/495691/how-to-provide-oauth2-client-id-and-client-secret-to-an-open-source-bash-scr https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64150126/best-practice-for-open-source-applications-using-imap-with-oauth2-regarding-cred SUGGESTED 05/12/2020 by David Carter https://massivescale.com/microsoft-v2-endpoint-primer/ A big complication is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/client-developer/legacy-protocols/how-to-authenticate-an-imap-pop-smtp-application-by-using-oauth : "Get an access token ... you can select an appropriate flow from the following list and follow the corresponding steps to call the underlying identity platform REST APIs and retrieve an access token.

SUGGESTED 2019_10_02 by Joel from Blue Net Box Fix this issue: “imapsync_bin_Darwin” can’t be opened because its integrity cannot be verified. This software needs to be updated.

It's not, it's good from the usage point of view, same string to point out the destination backup/restore folder SUGGESTED 2019_09_23 by Celko Michal. My proposal is to create a status file. it would be a command line option, ex. imapsync ... --status-file /var/www/hosting/tmp/xyz.json When I start imapsync process with this option, it would generate and update this status file every few seconds, so any application can access it and see what's going on with this process without parsing logs or keeping up with the log format when it changes. Example of such status file would be: In good progress { "status": "in progress", "progress": "245/5000", "message_rate":"7.06 msgs/s", "bandwidth_rate":"2.801 KiB/s", "errors_count": "0", "logfile": "LOG_imapsync/2019_09_22_09_01_42_058_abc@example.com_JDoe@example.com.txt", "pid": "123456", "exit_value": "" } On complete example* { "status": "finished", "progress": "5000/5000", "logfile": "LOG_imapsync/2019_09_22_09_01_42_058_abc@example.com_JDoe@example.com.txt", "pid": "" "exit_value": "0" } SUGGESTED 2019_07_30 by Gilles Only since imapsync 1.774 the release check is done with \r\n to end lines, instead of the not RFC compliant \n. If I upgrade Apache on imapsync.lamiral.info ii apache2-mpm-worker 2.2.22-13+deb7u7 amd64 Apache HTTP Server - high speed threaded model then any imapsync prior to 1.774 will fail to GET the VERSION file. Release check life with names: PeerAddr "linux-france.org" in release 1.350 "Host: www.linux-france.org\n\n" in release 1.350 to 1.466 PeerAddr "imapsync.lamiral.info" in release 1.374 and upper "Host: www.linux-france.org\n\n" in release 1.464 but not after "Host: ks.lamiral.info\n\n" in release 1.467 and upper "Host: ks.lamiral.info\r\n\r\n" in release 1.836 and upper Solution to test: Use the directive HttpProtocolOptions Unsafe # available from 2.2.32 or 2.4.24 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#httpprotocoloptions ks5 should be ok: Server Version: Apache/2.4.33 (FreeBSD) SUGGESTED 2019_06_18 by Konrad Wawryn Add NTLMv2 support It shouldn't be that hard to support NTLMv2 because the underlying NTLM module can do it already. Delegate all the stuff to underlying Mail-IMAPClient. SUGGESTED 2019_06_05 by Gilles Code equivalent W/tools/fix_email_for_exchange.py inside imapsync SUGGESTED 2019_04_10 by Gilles With signals show also their numbers https://perldoc.perl.org/Config.html SUGGESTED 2019_04_03 by Katja Wolf and Gilles Put a summary like the one in the log file in the source and the destination mailbox. SUGGESTED 2019_03_19 by Gilles In the final errors listing, add lines * Host1 banner * Host2 banner * Command line parameters I'm a little fade up to ask them in order to understand the context SUGGESTED 2019_03_04 by Gilles Write a FAQ about deciphering with imapsync. Test it! If the encryption is made using gpg then the decryption via --pipemess could be just the command: imapsync ... --pipemess 'gpg --decrypt --no-batch --no-tty --override-session-key 9:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' where you previously ran: gpg --decrypt --no-batch --show-session-key some_rfc822_filecrypted.txt in order to get the session-key "9:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" SUGGESTED 2019_02_28 by Gilles Default tmpdir could become ./TMP_imapsync for --usecache if there is no cache in the historical tmpdir File::Spec->tmpdir( ) Why? Some systems like Windows do change their tmpdir upon reboot. Some Unixes do remove their /tmp upon reboot.

Add a "make docker" goal that build, test and publish the docker package on ks3. SUGGESTED 2017_08_22 by Ismael Baena when hmailserver hierarchy delimiter is “\” When imapsync asks hmailserver about namespace, hmailserver returns “\\” instead of “\”. After that, imapsync fails when accessing any folder. Comparing hmailserver logs between imapsync and outlook accessing the account, I see outlook quoting every path while imapsync don’t, and outlook doesn’t fail. I wrote a message to the hmailserver forum, https://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=31503 SUGGESTED 2017_05_04 by Gilles Verif ipv6 connection, seems to fail now ./imapsync --host1 2603:1026:200:52::2 --host2 2603:1026:200:52::2 --justconnect ...

SUGGESTED 2016_11_16 by Flávio Zarur Lucarelli LucaNet Sistemas Getting subjects of messages for duplicates and print them. Dates and sizes are easier printable because imapsync gets them each time. SUGGESTED 2016_10_24 by Gilles Verify regex --delete2foldersbutnot and --delete2foldersonly are ok before anything. SUGGESTED 2016_10_07 by Gilles Write a FAQ file for packagers, mostly how to get the dependency Perl modules complete. SUGGESTED 2016_10_07 by Gilles Write a FAQ file about all errors and explain what they mean. Maybe propose an action to solve them in the code, or even solve them directly in the execution. SUGGESTED 2016_10_06 by Gilles Document or fix behavior (do a AND), curently "--search" makes "--maxage" and "--minage" ignored. SUGGESTED 2016_09_16 by Gilles Add a check of all --regextrans2 before going further, like what is done with --regexmess SUGGESTED 2016_08_25 by David Carter It would be helpful if imapsync reported Message-Id:/From:/Subject as well as folder name and message UID when it skips a message.

Looks like module Filesys::DfPortable will help for Unix and Win32. ==== Similar skip/error messages ==== WANTED 2016_01_28 Stephen Sookdeo List all emails that gives errors so you know exactly which. List with detailed info. Then ability to perform action on these specific emails like delete or ignore per email. WANTED 2015_06_02 Karen F Bath. Add skipped messages in the final dump. Print the list of messages not copied and why (duplicates or void header). I would like to request if you could add additional errors to the bottom, as we find that things like MaxLineLength and maxsize limit are classed as skipped messages and in my opinion are errors; as the email message is not transferred but this is not logged at the bottom. We have our own scan script which we run on all log files at the end and copy the users logs into subfolders that have issues. I've attached a list of things we search for. "Error", "Output" NO Mailbox already exists, "Folder" NO LOGIN failed, "NoLogin" Could not create folder, "Linux" Error sending, "Linux" Write failed 'no error caught', "Linux" line length exceeds maxlinelength, "Linux" BAD Command Argument Error. 11, "Linux" Failure: can not open, "Linux" No not connected, "Linux" Write failed 'Connection reset by peer', "Linux" could not be fetched:, "Linux" NO Mailbox does not exist,"Error" exceeds maxsize limit 20971520 bytes,"Error" error while reading data from server: Connection reset by peer (4x),"Error" Folder [Inbox] already exists,"Error" WANTED Add a well described problem for each problem detected and counted in error counter statistics. ==== End Similar skip/error messages ==== WANTED 2015_05_18 I'd like to be able to print the messages subjects, on some logs: For instance: msg INBOX.Archived/95551 marked \Deleted on host2 [GyDD6WpsFEtyBzNFnv] msg [Gmail]/All Mail/281079 copying to INBOX.Archived It would be great to be able to print the email subject, in order to debug or to get more useful information. WANTED 2015_04_25 Add duplicates test option. WANTED 2015_03_06 Dealing with Content-Type Message/Partial Extract the components of the partial messages and construct them with reformime as one message which can then be transferred. (Larry Moore) See also uudeview http://www.fpx.de/fp/Software/UUDeview/ (Larry said uudeview is weird on Partial issue, too old maybe) Apply --disarmreadreceipts only to UNSEEN messages. Add an exit value when exiting because of --exitwhenover The goal is to know easily why to restart later. Write a Mail::imapsync package and use it. One day, when I have really nothing better to do, evaluate: http://www.rackspace.com/apps/email_hosting/migrations http://www.yippiemove.com/ http://www.migrationwiz.com/ http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=1329 "Microsoft Transporter Suite" Add --mark-as-deleted1 --mark-as-deleted2 as aliases for --noexpunge1 --delete1 and --noexpunge2 --delete2 Fix bug found by Pavel Stano on 01/06/2012 (june) imapsync never stop login when login fails with a "* BYE Temp error" from server. Consider /var/tmp/ instead of /tmp (/tmp is destoyed on some Unix at reboot) Fix long path over than 260 character on Win32 with --usecache Fix inode crunching with --usecache Think about Digest::SHA or Digest::SHA::PurePerl. Think about a file database like DBM instead. Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_tree (David M. advice) Look at leveldb (Simon Th actux advice) Look at http://fallabs.com/kyotocabinet/ (JYB advice) Also Redis (Ludovic Danigo advice) I am writing now to suggest that imapsync provide info containing the parameters with which a message is determined to be a duplicate, so that if I wanted to confirm they are in fact duplicates by looking at the messages themselves, enough info would be available to easily locate them. One or two duplicates per folder are easy to find, but I had one large folder with quite a few, and in this case it would have been a big help. Explain that users can win time/bandwidth by using --expunge Fix "\Forwarded" flag bug in courier. Does \lalala can be forbidden (courier does a "16 NO Error in IMAP command received by server" with * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\* \Draft \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen)] Limited Add sync imap keywords. Sync Gmail labels to imap keyword http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=503159 http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync_list/msg00022.html http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77657 http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78892 Add and option to sync to & from files. Add an --aclregextrans2 flag. "Today we discovered, that Cyrus and Dovecot use different characters for their ACLs. Syncing ACLs vom Cyrus to Dovecot (at least 1.2) doesn't work. Cyrus uses c and d, Dovecot uses k and x instead." Peer Heinlein. Add more information about skipped messages. Take a look at Mail::IMAPTalk Simon Bertrang said "way better performance, less problems, easier to use and no issues so far". Sounds good! imapsync doesn't report well. It should says "I had to sync 123 messages but I could transfer only 99 messages" Maybe count messages not transferred because they're dupplicate. Fix bug "not possible to use space in the imap password" Add kerberos authentification Fix bug with folder names starting with an asterisk: *Archiv Sending: 220 SELECT *Archiv/Support/foobar Read: 220 BAD Protokollfehler: "Invalid folder specified in SELECT command" Add LITERAL+ [RFC 2088] support to imapsync. Make a m4 file for lsm.imapsync and generate it at each public release. Add --verbose from Kjetil jumbo patch.

DONE. Add a FAQ entry about long path over than 260 character on Win32. DONE. Build and distribute a standalone Darwin Mac OS X binary. It's called imapsync_bin_Darwin DONE. Add a NOP for host2 for each fake copy in --dry mode. Goal is to avoid timeouts happening only because of --dry DONE 2015_05_09 WANTED 2015_04_25 Add an option "--subfolder2 FOO" to move all folders to a subfolder FOO: On Windows: --regextrans2 "s,${h2_prefix}(.*),${h2_prefix}FOO${h2_sep}$1," \ --regextrans2 "s,^INBOX$,${h2_prefix}FOO${h2_sep}INBOX," DONE. Quota are read if available and warning is printed if 90% quota reached. Can you setup an option to make it stop if the destination mailbox reports that it is over quota? DONE. Add stdin/stdout filter before transfer: "Now i asked me, how to modify your perl program to work with that - in example, to write each mail to stdout, pipe that to the conversion program, and read the result from stdin - and this all before the mail will transfer to the target imap-server" http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/reformime.html Look at IPC::Open2, assuming a good and safe pipe, or write more code handling all the bad stranger behaviours possible. Option name: --pipemess "command arg1 arg2 ..." DONE. Transform messages with too long linelength. Office365 and Exchange abort connection when they encounter a message with more than 10000 characters on a single line. Could be done with the previous --pipemess with reformime. Thanks to Larry Moore for suggesting reformime tool! Usage: --maxlinelength 9900 maxlinelengthcmd 'reformime -r7' DONE. Add DavMail in Similar Softwares section. http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ DONE. Convert folder names to utf-8 and print them next to the utf-7 ones. Look at imapsync/W/learn/ ./imap_utf7 data_utf7 DONE. Separate the online site in a folder site/ or www/ and make the upper directory simple. DONE. --skipemptyfolders Is it possible to run imapsync in a way that empty folders on host1 aren't created at all on host2? Yes with --skipemptyfolders NO. Add an option to remove empty folders on host1, except INBOX. Use --skipemptyfolders instead DONE. Subject is output when APPEND fails. Done since a long time. Suggestion: it's very difficult to track down messages which are behaving funny during the sync. It would be great - and presumably easy to code - to have an option to have imapsync display e.g. the subject of an e-mail when it gets synced, rather than just the message ID and the date/time. DONE. Add W/learn/imap_utf7 in imapsync, the folders lists output looks a good place, if transcription is needed. DONE. Add options --log and --logfile to log both on screen and to a file. DONE. Document the tee command solution (Unix and Windows) in the FAQ. NEVER. Add an option to implement the faq entry about copying a contact folder. (write a dedicated software instead!) NEVER. Use examine() instead of select() in --dry mode. Add a method doing the switch automagicaly. DONE. Write --disarmreadreceipts that does: --regexmess 's{\A(.*?(?! ^$))^Disposition-Notification-To:(.*?)$}{$1X-Disposition-Notification-To:$2}igxms' DONE. With --foldersizes make the listing on host2 independent of case (avoid "not yet created" if the folder exists in another case string) DONE. Write --maxmessagespersecond and --maxbytespersecond for staying under Microsoft's throttling policies. DONE. Inform about --addheader when the problem occurs "(no wanted headers so we ignore this message)" DONE. Print the timeout value. DONE. Inform --timeout is is seconds. DONE. Add an entry to http://lsm.qqx.org/lsm/ See lsm.imapsync DONE. Fix the mailing-list archive bug with From at the beginning of a line http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync_list/msg00307.html DONE.

Add current date at the beginning of the run, useful when imapsync doesn't finish with statistics. DONE. Add automatic convertion or detection when separator inversion produces an invalid character. From uw to cyrus, for example : FoldA/FoldB.ext -> FoldA.FoldB/ext DONE. Not done since useless now (--useuid) Add a --skipheaderinfolder option DONE. Not fixed since only reported once a long time ago. Fix this: > - Erreur avec la traditionnelle différence entre Windows > et Linux sur les retour-chariots : le calcul de la > longueur du message ou des entêtes à envoyer au serveur > cible n'est pas bon sur une machine Windows. > Ci-dessous la modif : > > # No NL Count on Windows my $length = ( -s $file ) + $bare_nl_count; > my $length = ( -s $file ); I wonder if it is Windows or the imap server used. DONE. No Debian package anymore. Add debian packaging in the Makefile. Write to the debian maintener about that. DONE with --addheader Add an option to solve syncing Sent folder when no good header are available: http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync_list/msg01151.html http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync_list/msg01158.html DONE. Add a note about "One other thing: You might want to warn idiots like me, that if your cache resides on a filesystem with a limited number of inodes such as ext4, your inodes will be exhausted really fast (check with df -i). I now use a dedicated partition with reiserfs." DONE. Add an option --exitwhenover 2500000000 to avoid to be banned or locked http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1071518 DONE. Check if a message exists before fetching it (could have been deleted recently) (Check avoided when UID mode is not available) DONE. Change default --useheader 'Message-ID' --useheader Date to --useheader 'Message-ID' --useheader 'Received' because Exchange changes Date header! (but not Received:) DONE. Add "output to reflect everything that imapsync was doing". Not everything but flag synchronization will be nice" --debugflags does this. DONE. Add a script to install automaticaly all needed Perl modules if needed. Not a script but command lines in INSTALL file. DONE. Post on imapsync mailing-list when a new release comes. No since I no longer distribute it gratis, imapsync detects itself a new release and buyers are informed by a specific list. I know some packagers (FreeBSD) use the Changelog file to detect an update. DONE. Subscribe users to imapsync_update mailing-list automatically after the payment. (done in paypal_send) DONE. NO became porn! Post on newsgroup comp.mail.imap when a new release comes. http://groups.google.fr/group/comp.mail.imap DONE.

Ask Nick Czeczulin why he wrote patent "Method for mailbox migration" http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=qI_IAAAAEBAJ DONE. Add --search option allowing to select messages with any IMAP SEARCH command. DONE. Make --usecache works with --maxage --maxsize etc. DONE. Fix Exchange 2010 SP1 issue with --foldersizes when host2 folders don't exist. $imap->exists calls STATUS. Is it RFC compliant or an Exchange bug? Exchange quit after 10 errors. DONE. Make --delete2 works with --useuid DONE. write a comment to http://blog.migrationwiz.com/2010/12/09/imapsync-vs-migrationwiz/ DONE. Read http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354831 Nice conversation. DONE. Look https://fedorahosted.org/released/imapsync/ DONE. Take a look at https://bitbucket.org/imapsync/imapsync DONE. Explain expunge behavior in help message. DONE. Add --authmd51 --authmd52 to permit authmd5 by host. DONE. Write option --delete2foldersonly regex. Example: to permit a sync in a subfolder with --delete2folder --regextrans2 's#(.*)#NEW/$1#' --delete2foldersonly /^NEW/ DONE. Write option --delete2foldersbutnot regex. Example: to permit a sync but not deleting folder OLD --delete2foldersbutnot /^OLD/ DONE. Add cache to speed up transfer. Option --usecache DONE. There was a time imapsync took the whole message when the header was bad (empty). But it was bad for speed with big messages (nowadays there are always big messages in mailboxes). May be the best is to take a part of the body. Have to code this. DONE. Add a --delete2folders option "When syncing mailboxes with imapsync, is there a way to delete folders in the target account? The --delete2 option only seems to delete individual messages, not folders." DONE. Add NTLM authentification support. Mail-IMAPClient-3.25 support it. http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/BUZZ/NTLM-1.05/NTLM.pm http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/ntlm.html DONE. Evaluate memory consumption with (or better): print qx{ ps o pid,pcpu,comm,vsz,rss,size $$ }, "\n" Search memory leaks with Test-Weaken Test-Memory-Cycle Devel-Cycle Devel-Leak Test-Weaken sh -x tests.sh ll_bigmail sh -x tests.sh ll_memory_consumption are good candidate to stress memory. No memory leak detected just up to 8 memory copies of the same data in Mail::IMAPClient. Wrote ./learn/memory_consumption to show that it is a Mail::IMAPClient issue. DONE.Be more effiscient with large mailboxes Write a Mail::IMAPClient::fetch_hash allowing selecting messages to fetch 4 hours estimated time coding. Time spent 4h30 (with public release and emails) DONE. Bugfix. Duplicate messages on host2 are not deleted with --delete2 Reason: "Skipping msg #120:508 in host2 folder INBOX.2005-INBOX (duplicate so we ignore this message)" DONE. Ask namespace capability after login (dovecot 2). It was a bug from library caching CAPABILITY. DONE. Write a clean_exit() replacing each die() or exit() call. Wrote exit_clean() and die_clean() to remove pid file. DONE. Add a --pidfile option. DONE. Add NOOP commands to avoid timeouts. Useless since reconnect mode permits timeouts. DONE. Add --subscribeall option. Is it possible to have a option that subscribes all folders regardless of subscription on the source server? Perhaps --subscribeall? DONE. Add an option to make imapsync automatically reconnect when the connection drops DONE. Add Google adsence to imapsync website to see if it can help. DONE. Be "FLAGS.SILENT" the normal behavior instead of "+FLAGS.SILENT". DONE. Add TLS support with patches/imapsync-1.217_tls_support.patch USELESS. Make --skipheader be multiple. Useless since we can use the or perl regex '^X-|^Date|^From' USELESS. Add a --tmpfile option. DONE. Add --justlogin options to check usernames and passwords. DONE. Add a --tmpdir option. DONE. Fix bug "Found that if folders have a space at the end of the name, it will not create the folder name on the new server, nor will it copy that folder's email." Added regression test checking this. Could not reproduce this bug. Seems to be a old imapsync bug with 2.2.9 DONE. (contacted Date::Manip maintener) Fix bug with Date::Manip 6.02 DONE. Explain howto change only the header with --regexmess DONE. Change IsUnconnected behavior. If IsUnconnected then print stats and die. Avoid logout. DONE. Remove --password "secret" in outpout. DONE. Make "--delete 2" be a fatal error. DONE. Write to zimbra coders about the date presentation: Sorting by default by internal date is bad with migrations and delayed arrivals. An user option would be good. DONE. Add failure return code in case of last FOLDER if $from->IsUnconnected(); last FOLDER if $to->IsUnconnected(); See Phil Lobbes messages (18 Sep 2008) Subject: BUG: imapsync may silently disconnect leading to unmigrated data without warnings DONE. Fix bad english language. DONE. Add a better test to check non existing folders on destination server. (status and select are bad). DONE. Fix the buggy --include behavior with no --folder --folderrec or --subscribed. DONE. Update the distribution list including imapsync in the INSTALL chapter. Also in README. DONE. Start FAQ entries about good options with such imap server. DONE. Talk about mbox and maildir format when "Invalid header" problem is encountered. (See FAQ "Invalid header") DONE. Look at http://barnson.org/node/81 An old blog about imap migration. DONE. Normally, "no header used or found" means imapsync found a message with no header. It may be a bad message with really no header or it may be a imap server problem, the server gives no header for this message. In that case imapsync gets the whole message to see if there is the same on the other side. It slows the transfer of course. I think I'll change imapsync behavior and let it give up those bad messages missing an header. DONE. Make --syncinternaldates turn on by default DONE. Check imapsync with gmail (dates problem?). DONE. Start an imap internet scan project. DONE. Fix --ssl --justconnect bug DONE. Fix --ssl needs --authmech login with gmail. Why? DONE. Try a 50Mo message transfer (slow ?) fast! DONE. Add my amazon wishlist link. DONE. Remove file rfc2342.txt "IMAP4 Namespace" DONE. Add an --exactsync option to remove target messages that are not on source. Maybe --delete2 is a better name. DONE. Fix the "word too large" or "Command line too long" bug with some imap servers. DONE. Add features from Herman (patch against 1.139 and again with 1.156 by Kjetil Torgrim Homme) - Support for authenticating as different (admin) user - Support for different auth mechanisms (we needed PLAIN) DONE. Make --include --exclude options possibly be a list. DONE. Look at http://freshmeat.net/projects/freshmeat-submit/ DONE in FAQ.Talk about : "I think notes is right but MS Eudora is bad with dates. (netscape or thunderbird is ok with dates) use the option --syncinternaldates " DONE. Create a imapsync mailing list. May be I won't since we can use comp.mail.imap http://groups.google.fr/group/comp.mail.imap to talk about imapsync DONE. Add a --recurse option when --folder option is used. No I won't since this feature can be done by doing a --include '^INBOX.MyFolder' Yes done with --folderrec Done. Look at comp.mail.imap http://groups.google.fr/groups?q=imapsync In fact I set up an google alert on imapsync so I read any posted question about imapsync posted to any group followed by google. DONE. Add usage about --regextrans2 To remove INBOX. in the name of destination folders: --regextrans2 's/^INBOX\.(.+)/$1/' To sync a complete account in a subfolder called FOO: --regextrans2 's/^INBOX(.*)/INBOX.FOO$1/' DONE. Make the --justconnect a real "just connect" connection, not a auth connection like it is now. DONE. Add --prefix1 option. The need is to remove this prefix when building target folder names. DONE. Read the IMAP RFC http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2342.txt Respect the NAMESPACE behavior like the RFC. DONE. Add in doc: Does imapsync support IMAP over TLS (IMAPS)? DONE. Add the licence of each IMAP software (the free ones). DONE. Add MailEnable version 1.54 if Javier Gomez succeed. He failed. MailEnable is an early stage developpment IMAP server. DONE. Update doc with ALL options. DONE. Think about speed. DONE. Pb if "to separator" is in "from folder" name. Have to choose a caracter != to separator and not in from folders. The solution can be to just exchange the two separator caracters. DONE. Look at the separator() function in Mail::IMAPClient DONE. Add SASL support MD5 : DIGEST-MD5 and CRAM-MD5 see authenticate in IMAPClient.pm Test the new Mail::IMAPClient (2.1.4 -> 2.2.6 or sup) userdbpw -hmac-md5 | userdb userdb set hmac-md5pw http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html DONE. Add a --subscribe option to subscribe folders on the destination server. DONE. Add a --subscribed option to transfert only subscribed folder on the source server. DONE. Add a CREDITS file. DONE. Pb with namespace INBOX. Some IMAP servers don't have this CAPABILITY http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/FAQ.html#namespace http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2342.txt DONE. Pb with date DONE. Pb with \Recent flag DONE. Add the list of tested IMAP servers (successes and failures).
