<h2>What is imapsync?</h2>
<p>
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 to access mailboxes,
the two other are POP3 and HTTP with webmails, webmail are often tied to an IMAP server.
</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.
"Incremental" means you can stop the transfer at any time
and restart it later efficiently.
"Recursive" means the complete folders hierarchy can be copied.
"Command line" means it's not a graphical tool, on Windows you have to run imapsync
from a <a href="#DOC_BASIC">batch file</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.
</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="#similar"><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 decisions I've made about imapsync 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.

<h2><a id="NUMBERS"></a>Facts and figures for 2011-2014</h2>
<ul>
<li><b>4000 to 5000 </b>users per month (48000 users a year).</li>
<li>6 to 39 millions mailboxes transfers per month.</li>
<li><b>158 millions</b> transfers for 2013, that is five whole mailboxes synced per second.
2014 should reach more than 220 millions transfers.</li>
<li><b>Operating systems</b> run by imapsync users (in 2013):
<ul>
<li><b>Linux: 70%</b></li>
<li><b>Win32: 14%</b></li>
<li><b>Darwin: 6%</b></li>
<li>FreeBSD: 10%</li>
<li>Solaris: 0.15%</li>
<li>OpenBSD: 0.02%</li>
<li>Other: 0.46%</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Highest use rate</b>: about <b>56 millions</b> of IMAP mailbox transfers by just one user</li>
</ul>
<p>
Where all those numbers come from?
To know wether 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).

<ul>
<li><b>1.607</b> Folders showed also in utf8.</li>
<li><b>Caveat to upgrade on Unix!</b>: New <b>Unicode::String</b> Perl module dependency, for utf8 output. See the <a href="INSTALL">INSTALL</a> file.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --skipemptyfolders to skip empty host1 folders. They are not created on host2.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Windows exe now uses IO::SSL 2.002 instead of 1.98 (is it an really an enhancement?).</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Remove /x from regexes applied with --include and --exclude. Blanks no longer have to be explicit with \ or [ ].</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added utf8 output for folder names, utf7imap special characters are not user friendly readable</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Moved foldersizes output after folders lists output.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added total size transferred after each message copied.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: After ETA added number of total to be synced, as a denominator dddd after each message copied, nnn/dddd,
where nnn is the number of messages copied. Before there was only nnn without /dddd.</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Cache fix on Windows. File paths with brackets [] are special, they have to be escaped with glob.
For example, [Gmail] must be written [[]Gmail[]].</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Added several checks if IsUnconnected. Goal avoid imap commands while disconnected.
Reconnexion would be better anyway.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.597</b> Small things</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --nomixfolders to avoid merging folders that are considered different on host1 but the same on destination host2
because of case sensitivities and insensitivities.</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Fixed "imapsync doesn't see created folders in the listing of folder sizes at the end". (second time this bug shows up)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.592</b> Logging by default! (an internal feature now)</li>
<li><b>Caveat to upgrade</b>: New <b>IO::Tee</b> Perl module dependency, for logging. See the <a href="INSTALL">INSTALL</a> file.</li>
<li><b>Windows upgrade</b>: Win32 binary is now distributed in a zip file with two batches scripts ready to use it.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added logging by default in subdirectory <b>./LOG_imapsync/</b></li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: <b>Added option --log turned on by default</b>. Use --nolog to disable logging.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option --logfile. Default is like ./LOG_imapsync/YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS_user2.txt
where YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS is the launching date and time like 2014_05_20_23_45_10</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--disarmreadreceipts</b> to fix resending read receipts on host2. A must with Exchange as host2.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added FTGate support (no EXAMINE imap command used anymore).</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Updated the code to easily switch on --noreleasecheck by default but allowing --releasecheck (some users want this feature).</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Warn syncing messges will not be simulated when --dry mode is on and folder on host2 does not exist yet.</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Make TLS works with last IO::Socket::SSL default value (Added SSL_verify_mode => 'SSL_VERIFY_NONE') in --tls mode.</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Fixed bug when creating folders on host2 with --sep2=\\ (Lotus Notes).</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Try to get folder size when a folder on host2 has the same name but with a different case
like OLD_MAIL -> old_mail. This avoids "does not exist" output.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>1.584</b></li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --minmaxlinelength to select messages with long lines only.
It helps to diagnostic Echange error on messages with lines longer than 9000 characters</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --debugmaxlinelength</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: --ssl1 --tls2 was buggy because of default SSL_VERIFY_PEER.
"Can not go to tls encryption on [localhost]:Unable to start TLS: Cannot determine peer hostname for verification..."</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Check if going to tls is ok, exit otherwise with explicit error message.
Thanks to Dennis Schridde for reporting this ugly bug that deserves this <a href="http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-2014">CVE-2014-2014</a>.</li>
<li><b>Debug</b>: Print separator given by NAMESPACE even when --sep1 oe --sep2 is used.</li>
<li><b>Debug</b>: Prints prefix given by NAMESPACE even when --prefix1 or --prefix2 is used.
It is a preparation for advising not to use --prefix unless suggested.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Good changes</b> made before, listed because <b>they can help</b>:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added <b>--skipcrossduplicates</b> to avoid copying messages that are already copied in another folder, good <b>from Gmail to X</b>.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --debugcrossduplicates to print which messages (UIDs) are skipped with --skipcrossduplicates (and in what other folders they are).</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --folderfirst string: sync this folder first. --folderfirst "Work" --folderfirst "Friends"</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --folderlast string: sync this folder last. --folderlast "[Gmail]/All Mail" etc.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added <b>--maxmessagespersecond</b> to limit messages tranfer rate and fix <b>Office365 throttle limitation</b> (use --maxmessagespersecond 4).</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --maxbytespersecond to limit byte transfer rate.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --debugmemory option that prints memory consumption after each message is copied.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --authmech EXTERNAL.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Adapted behavior for allowing --maxdate --mindate with --noabletosearch.
Use internat date instead of Date: header.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: QQMail IMAP4Server success (with --noabletosearch option) </li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Apply same treatment to --delete2duplicates as --delete2.
If --uidexpunge2 can be done, do it, else do --expunge2 (unless --nouidexpunge2 or --noexpunge2).</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added --timeout in the --help output. Default timeout is 120 seconds now
(was nothing by imapsync, 600 with underlying modules).</li>
<li><b>Enhancement/Bug fix</b>: Added --ssl1_SSL_version and --ssl2_SSL_version to force the SSL_version
in case the default auto-negociation does not work. Example: <b>--ssl1 --ssl1_SSL_version SSLv3</b></li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option --messageidnodomain to fix Mailenable bug changing the domain part of Message-Id header, and avoid duplicates</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option --syncflagsaftercopy to fix Mailenable bug not getting the flags with the APPEND</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--maxlinelength</b> to skip messages whose max line length is over a number of bytes.
Exchange 2013 and Office365 need <b>--maxlinelength 1000</b> (which is a RFC2822 must) to avoid disconnections.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added --fixInboxINBOX, turned on by default, to map automatically Inbox INBOX folder names.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: IMAP server removing consecutive spaces on the header part doesn't generate duplicates (MailEnable does that)</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: SSL_verify_mode 0 to avoid warning about Man-In-The-Middle.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added XOAUTH authentication. Thanks to Eduardo Bortoluzzi Junior.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added <b>--search1</b> and <b>--search2</b> to allow different searches on each host.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added --delete1 as an alias for --delete</li>
<li><b>Speed</b>: Option <b>--nocheckmessageexists is activated by default</b> since --checkmessageexists often slow down transfers too much.</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Option --foldersizesatend is on if --foldersizes is on. Off if --nofoldersizesatend</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added <b>host2 minus host1 statistic</b>: number of messages and bytes.
One difference at the start and one at the end.
Useful to <b>detect quickly a difference between host2 and host1</b>.
Need both --foldersizes and --foldersizesatend options (which are on by default).</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added <b>--foldersizesatend</b>.
It gets the folders sizes at the end of the whole transfer.
Turned on by default (use --nofoldersizesatend to turn it off).</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--delete2duplicates</b>;
it deletes messages in host2 that are duplicates.
--delete2duplicates is on when --delete2 is set unless --nodelete2duplicates is set too.
</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--pidfilelocking</b>;
it aborts imapsync, when just launched,
in case another imapsync may be running.
Turned off by default</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Added option <b>--showpasswords</b>.
it shows passwords on output instead of "MASKED".
Turned off by default.
Useful to restart a run by reading the log
or to see what happen with special characters.
</li>
<li><b>Bug fix</b>: Added option <b>--fixslash2</b>
to avoid the '<b>Invalid mailbox name</b>' error.
It acts when --sep1 is character / and --sep2 is not character /
and host1 folder name contains --sep2 characters.
Turned on by default (--nofixslash2 to unable it).</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--noabletosearch</b>
to allow the listing of messages without the imap "SEARCH ALL" command.
It's useful for playing with poor imap servers like <b>Softalk 7.6.4</b>
(8.6 is fine with SEARCH ALL).</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added <b>--noexpungeaftereach</b>
to speedup --delete --expunge from Gmail.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option <b>--nocheckmessageexists</b> to <b>speed up</b> with <b>Tobit imap server</b> as host1.</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option --exitwhenover option <b>to avoid locking</b>
when transfers exceed maximum limit.
See for example <a href="http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1071518">this Gmail constraint</a>
<ul>
<li>imapsync ... --exitwhenover 2500000000 # 2.5GB if <b>host1 is Gmail</b></li>
<li>imapsync ... --exitwhenover 500000000 # 500MB if <b>host2 is Gmail</b></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><b>Usability</b>: Default headers used to identify a message are now "Message-Id" and "Received"
(<b>Exchange compatibility</b> bu default).</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added option --addheader to fix the issue
"ignored (no header so we ignore this message)" (on <b>Sent</b> folder usually).
Thanks to Ameir Abdeldayem</li>
<li><b>Enhancement</b>: Added --nofilterflags to check any STORE flags
by ignoring PERMANENTFLAGS (Exchange tests)</li>

<h2><a id="imap_server_success"></a>Lists of imap server software failures and success stories</h2>
<p>Let's start with reported <b>failure stories</b> over the past.<br/>
Maybe <b>new imapsync releases can run successfully with them</b>.<br/>
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.
</p>
<ul>
<li>DBMail 0.9, 2.0.7 (GPL). But most other DBMail releases are supported (see below).</li>
<li><b>Hotmail</b> since hotmail.com does not provide IMAP access.</li>
<li>Imail 7.04 (maybe).</li>
<li>MailEnable 1.54 (Proprietary) but MailEnable 4.23 is supported. </li>
<li>(2011) <b>MDaemon 12.0.3</b> as <b>host2</b>
but MDaemon is <b>supported as host1</b>.
MDaemon is simply buggy with the APPEND IMAP command with any IMAP email client.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Now the long reported <b>success stories</b> list: <b>
62 different imap server softwares supported!</b><br/>
[host1] means "source server" and [host2] means "destination server":
