NAME

mailsync - Synchronize IMAP mailboxes

SYNOPSIS

mailsync [options] channel
or
mailsync [options] store
or
mailsync [options] channel store

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the mailsync command.

mailsync is a way of keeping a collection of mailboxes synchronized. The mailboxes may be
on the local filesystem or on an IMAP server.

There are three invocations of mailsync:

The first will synchronize two sets of mailboxes - in mailsync referred to as "stores".

The second form will list the contents of a store. It's usage is recommended before
synchronizing two stores to check whether mailsync is seeing what you are expecting it to
see.

The third form will show you what has changed in a store since the last sync.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

-f file
Use alternate config file.

-n Don't delete messages when synchronizing.

-D Delete any empty mailboxes after synchronizing..

-m Show from, subject, etc. of messages that are killed or moved when synchronzing.

-M Also show message-ids (turns on -m).

-s Says what would be done without doing it (turns on -n). Attention: this will
change the "Seen" flag of emails and will create new, empty mailboxes in order to
be able to compare them.

-v Show IMAP chatter.

-vb Show warning about braindammaged message ids

-vw Show warnings

-vp Show RFC 822 mail parsing errors

-h Show help.

-d Show debug info. -di Debug/log IMAP protocol telemetry. -dc Debug config.

-t mid Use mailsync with specified message-id algorithm. Currently you have the choice
between md5 and msgid (default). msgid uses the Message-ID in the mail header to
identify a message. md5 calculates a MD5 hash from the "From", "To", "Subject",
"Date" and "Message-ID" headers and uses that as message identifier.

If you use mailclients and servers that allow empty Message-IDs (f.ex. in mail
drafts) then you should use the md5 algorithm.
