SUGGESTED 2022_07_22 by Flavio
Have a parameter to reconnect in case of failure
Exiting with return value 102 (EXIT_CONNECTION_FAILURE_HOST2)
SUGGESTED 2022_01_04 by Franck
It might be even more efficient if at the end there was a summary in
categories for mails that did not transfer, e.g.:
xx number of mails not transferred due to missing header: use --addheader to transfer
xx number of duplicate mails not transferred: use ... to force transfer
... etc
Thus one would not have to scroll through the log unless there
were particular mails to be inspected as to problems.

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?
SUGGESTED 2022_01_26 by Kuch/Mitchell/D.

Add --regexbody --regexheader, similar to --regexmess
Hum hum, time goes by:
SUGGESTED 2016_06_09 by Gilles and David Carter
In order to avoid useless headaches from --regexmess, add
--regexheader
--regexbody
SUGGESTED 2021_01_26 by Gilles and Martin L. 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 byTimo Smit
Allow the syntax --host1 "example.com/Sent"
to sync only the Sent folder.
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)

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.

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.

I can follow these instructions and authenticate to imap.

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/[email protected][email protected]",
"pid": "123456",
"exit_value": ""
}
On complete example*
{
"status": "finished",
"progress": "5000/5000",
"logfile": "LOG_imapsync/[email protected][email protected]",
"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

I would like to request if you could add additional errors to the bottom,

is not transferred but this is not logged at the bottom.

find, but I had one large folder with quite a few, and in this case it would have
been a big help.
