NAME imapsync - IMAP synchronisation, sync, copy or migration tool. Synchronises mailboxes between two imap servers. Good at IMAP migration. More than 52 different IMAP server softwares supported with success, few failures. $Revision: 1.607 $ SYNOPSIS To synchronize imap account "foo" on "imap.truc.org" to imap account "bar" on "imap.trac.org" with foo password "secret1" and bar password "secret2": imapsync \ --host1 imap.truc.org --user1 foo --password1 secret1 \ --host2 imap.trac.org --user2 bar --password2 secret2 INSTALL imapsync works fine under any Unix OS with perl. imapsync works fine under Windows (2000, XP, Vista, Seven) with Strawberry Perl (5.10, 5.12 or higher) or as a standalone binary software imapsync.exe imapsync can be available directly on the following distributions: FreeBSD, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora, NetBSD, Darwin, Mandriva and OpenBSD. Purchase latest imapsync at http://imapsync.lamiral.info/ You'll receive a link to a compressed tarball called imapsync-x.xx.tgz where x.xx is the version number. Untar the tarball where you want (on Unix): tar xzvf imapsync-x.xx.tgz Go into the directory imapsync-x.xx and read the INSTALL file. The INSTALL file is also at http://imapsync.lamiral.info/INSTALL The freecode (was freshmeat) record is at http://freecode.com/projects/imapsync USAGE imapsync [options] To get a description of each option just run imapsync like this: imapsync --help imapsync The option list: imapsync [--host1 server1] [--port1 <num>] [--user1 <string>] [--passfile1 <string>] [--host2 server2] [--port2 <num>] [--user2 <string>] [--passfile2 <string>] [--ssl1] [--ssl2] [--tls1] [--tls2] [--authmech1 <string>] [--authmech2 <string>] [--proxyauth1] [--proxyauth2] [--domain1] [--domain2] [--authmd51] [--authmd52] [--folder <string> --folder <string> ...] [--folderrec <string> --folderrec <string> ...] [--include <regex>] [--exclude <regex>] [--prefix2 <string>] [--prefix1 <string>] [--regextrans2 <regex> --regextrans2 <regex> ...] [--sep1 <char>] [--sep2 <char>] [--justfolders] [--justfoldersizes] [--justconnect] [--justbanner] [--syncinternaldates] [--idatefromheader] [--syncacls] [--regexmess <regex>] [--regexmess <regex>] [--maxsize <int>] [--minsize <int>] [--maxage <int>] [--minage <int>] [--search <string>] [--search1 <string>] [--search2 <string>] [--skipheader <regex>] [--useheader <string>] [--useheader <string>] [--nouid1] [--nouid2] [--usecache] [--skipsize] [--allowsizemismatch] [--delete] [--delete2] [--expunge] [--expunge1] [--expunge2] [--uidexpunge2] [--delete2folders] [--delete2foldersonly] [--delete2foldersbutnot] [--subscribed] [--subscribe] [--subscribe_all] [--nofoldersizes] [--nofoldersizesatend] [--dry] [--debug] [--debugimap][--debugimap1][--debugimap2] [--timeout <int>] [--split1] [--split2] [--reconnectretry1 <int>] [--reconnectretry2 <int>] [--noreleasecheck] [--releasecheck] [--pidfile <filepath>] [--tmpdir <dirpath>] [--nolog] [--log] [--logfile <filepath>] [--version] [--help] [--tests] [--tests_debug] DESCRIPTION The command imapsync is a tool allowing incremental and recursive imap transfer from one mailbox to another. By default all folders are transferred, recursively, all possible flags (\Seen \Answered \Flagged etc.) are synced too. We sometimes need to transfer mailboxes from one imap server to another. This is called migration. imapsync is a good tool because it reduces the amount of data transferred by not transferring a given message if it is already on both sides. Same headers and the transfer is done only once. All flags are preserved, unread will stay unread, read will stay read, deleted will stay deleted. You can stop the transfer at any time and restart it later, imapsync works well with bad connections. You can decide to delete the messages from the source mailbox after a successful transfer, it can be a good feature when migrating live mailboxes since messages will be only on one side. In that case, use the --delete option. Option --delete implies also option --expunge so all messages marked deleted on host1 will be really deleted. (you can use --noexpunge to avoid this but I don't see any good real world scenario for the combinaison --delete --noexpunge). You can also just synchronize a mailbox B from another mailbox A in case you just want to keep a "live" copy of A in B. In that case --delete2 can be used, it deletes messages in host2 folder B that are not in host1 folder A. imapsync is not adequate for maintaining two active imap accounts in synchronization where the user plays independently on both sides. Use offlineimap (written by John Goerzen) or mbsync (written by Michael R. Elkins) for 2 ways synchronizations. OPTIONS To get a description of each option just invoke: imapsync --help HISTORY I wrote imapsync because an enterprise (basystemes) paid me to install a new imap server without losing huge old mailboxes located on a far away remote imap server accessible by a low bandwidth link. The tool imapcp (written in python) could not help me because I had to verify every mailbox was well transferred and delete it after a good transfer. imapsync started life as a copy_folder.pl patch. The tool copy_folder.pl comes from the Mail-IMAPClient-2.1.3 perl module tarball source (in the examples/ directory of the tarball). EXAMPLE While working on imapsync parameters please run imapsync in dry mode (no modification induced) with the --dry option. Nothing bad can be done this way. To synchronize the imap account "buddy" (with password "secret1") on host "imap.src.fr" to the imap account "max" (with password "secret2") on host "imap.dest.fr": imapsync --host1 imap.src.fr --user1 buddy --password1 secret1 \ --host2 imap.dest.fr --user2 max --password2 secret2 Then you will have max's mailbox updated from buddy's mailbox. SECURITY You can use --passfile1 instead of --password1 to give the password since it is safer. With --password1 option any user on your host can see the password by using the 'ps auxwwww' command. Using a variable (like $PASSWORD1) is also dangerous because of the 'ps auxwwwwe' command. So, saving the password in a well protected file (600 or rw-------) is the best solution. imasync is not totally protected against sniffers on the network since passwords may be transferred in plain text if CRAM-MD5 is not supported by your imap servers. Use --ssl1 (or --tls1) and --ssl2 (or --tls2) to enable encryption on host1 and host2. You may authenticate as one user (typically an admin user), but be authorized as someone else, which means you don't need to know every user's personal password. Specify --authuser1 "adminuser" to enable this on host1. In this case, --authmech1 PLAIN will be used by default since it is the only way to go for now. So don't use --authmech1 SOMETHING with --authuser1 "adminuser", it will not work. Same behavior with the --authuser2 option. Authenticate with an admin account must be supported by your imap server to work with imapsync. When working on Sun/iPlanet/Netscape IMAP servers you must use --proxyauth1 to enable administrative user to masquerade as another user. Can also be used on destination server with --proxyauth2 You can authenticate with OAUTH when transfering from Google Apps. The consumer key will be the domain part of the --user, and the --password will be used as the consumer secret. It does not work with Google Apps free edition. EXIT STATUS imapsync will exit with a 0 status (return code) if everything went good. Otherwise, it exits with a non-zero status. So if you have an unreliable internet connection, you can use this loop in a Bourne shell: while ! imapsync ...; do echo imapsync not complete done LICENSE imapsync is free, open, public but not always gratis software cover by the NOLIMIT Public License.

Gilles LAMIRAL earns his living by writing, installing, configuring and teaching free, open and often gratis softwares. It used to be "always gratis" but now it is "often" because imapsync is sold by its author, a good way to stay maintening and supporting free open public softwares (see the license) over decades. BUG REPORT GUIDELINES Help me to help you: follow the following guidelines. Report any bugs or feature requests to the public mailing-list or to the author. Before reporting bugs, read the FAQ, the README and the TODO files. http://imapsync.lamiral.info/ Upgrade to last imapsync release, maybe the bug is already fixed. Upgrade to last Mail-IMAPClient Perl module. http://search.cpan.org/dist/Mail-IMAPClient/ maybe the bug is already fixed there. Make a good title with word "imapsync" in it (my spam filter won't filter it), Try to write an email title with more words than just "imapsync" or "problem", a good title is made of keywords summary, but not too long (one visible line). Help us to help you: in your report, please include: - imapsync version. - output near the first failures, a few lines before is good to get the context of the issue. First failures messages are often more significant than the last ones. - if the issue is always related to the same messages, include the output with --debug --debugimap, near the failure point. For example, Isolate a buggy message or two in a folder 'BUG' and use imapsync ... --folder 'BUG' --debug --debugimap - imap server softwares on both sides and their version number. - imapsync with all the options you use, the full command line you use (except the passwords of course). - IMAPClient.pm version. - the run context. Do you run imapsync.exe, a unix binary or the perl script imapsync. - operating system running imapsync. - virtual software context (vmware, xen etc.) - operating systems on both sides and the third side in case you run imapsync on a foreign host from the both. Most of those values can be found as a copy/paste at the begining of the output, so a carbon copy of the output is a very easy and very good debug report for me. One time in your life, read the paper "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html and then forget it. IMAP SERVERS Failure stories reported in the past with the following 6 imap servers. Maybe last imapsync release can run successfully with them. Don't hesitate to have a try, It's been a long time since last failure occured, I will help you and make efforts to switch them to the success list, that's my job. - MailEnable 1.54 (Proprietary) but MailEnable 4.23 is supported. - DBMail 0.9, 2.0.7 (GPL). But DBMail 1.2.1 is supported. Patient and confident testers are welcome. - Imail 7.04 (maybe). - (2011) MDaemon 12.0.3 as host2 but MDaemon is supported as host1. MDaemon is simply buggy with the APPEND IMAP command with any IMAP email client. - Hotmail since hotmail.com does not provide IMAP access - Outlook.com since outlook.com does not provide IMAP access Success stories reported with the following 62 imap servers (software names are in alphabetic order): - 1und1 H mimap1 84498 [host1] H mibap4 95231 [host1] - a1.net imap.a1.net IMAP4 Ready [host1] - Apple Server 10.6 Snow Leopard [host1] - Archiveopteryx 2.03, 2.04, 2.09, 2.10 [host2], 3.0.0 [host2] (OSL 3.0) http://www.archiveopteryx.org/ - Atmail 6.x [host1] - Axigen Mail Server Version 8.0.0 - BincImap 1.2.3 (GPL) (http://www.bincimap.org/) - CommuniGatePro server (Redhat 8.0) (Solaris), CommuniGate Pro 5.2.17[host2] (CentOS 5.4) - Courier IMAP 1.5.1, 2.2.0, 2.1.1, 2.2.1, 3.0.8, 3.0.3, 4.1.1 (GPL) (http://www.courier-mta.org/) - Critical Path (7.0.020) - Cyrus IMAP 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.1.15, 2.1.16, 2.1.18 2.2.1, 2.2.2-BETA, 2.2.3, 2.2.6, 2.2.10, 2.2.12, 2.2.13, 2.3-alpha (OSI Approved), 2.3.1, 2.3.7, 2.3.16 (http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/) - David Tobit V8 (proprietary Message system). - Deerfield VisNetic MailServer 5.8.6 [host1] (http://www.deerfield.net/products/visnetic-mailserver/) - DBMail 1.2.1, 2.0.4, 2.0.9, 2.2rc1 (GPL) (http://www.dbmail.org/). 2.0.7 seems buggy. - DBOX 2.41 System [host1] (http://www.dbox.handshake.de/). - Deerfield VisNetic MailServer 5.8.6 [host1] - dkimap4 [host1] - Domino (Notes) 4.61 [host1], 6.5 [host1], 5.0.6, 5.0.7, 7.0.2, 6.0.2CF1, 7.0.1 [host1], 8.0.1 [host1], 8.5.2 [host2], 8.5.3 [host1] - Dovecot 0.99.10.4, 0.99.14, 0.99.14-8.fc4, 1.0-0.beta2.7, 1.0.0 [dest/source] (LGPL) (http://www.dovecot.org/) - Eudora WorldMail v2 - FirtClass 9 [host1] Read the FAQ!

This will help future users. To help the author maintaining this section report the two lines at the begining of the output if they are useful to know the softwares. Example: Host1 software:* OK louloutte Cyrus IMAP4 v1.5.19 server ready Host2 software:* OK Courier-IMAP ready You can use option --justconnect to get those lines. Example: imapsync --host1 imap.troc.org --host2 imap.trac.org --justconnect HUGE MIGRATION Pay special attention to options --subscribed --subscribe --delete --delete2 --delete2folders --maxage --minage --maxsize --useuid --usecache If you have many mailboxes to migrate think about a little shell program. Write a file called file.txt (for example) containing users and passwords. The separator used in this example is ';' The file.txt file contains: user001_1;password001_1;user001_2;password001_2 user002_1;password002_1;user002_2;password002_2 user003_1;password003_1;user003_2;password003_2 user004_1;password004_1;user004_2;password004_2 user005_1;password005_1;user005_2;password005_2 ... On Unix the shell program can be: { while IFS=';' read u1 p1 u2 p2; do imapsync --host1 imap.side1.org --user1 "$u1" --password1 "$p1" \ --host2 imap.side2.org --user2 "$u2" --password2 "$p2" ... done ; } < file.txt On Windows the batch program can be: FOR /F "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=; eol=#" %%G IN (file.txt) DO imapsync ^ --host1 imap.side1.org --user1 %%G --password1 %%H ^ --host2 imap.side2.org --user2 %%I --password2 %%J ... The ... have to be replaced by nothing or any imapsync option. Welcome in shell programming !
