Fork of isync with filter support
1004756659
while it's correct that mbsync doesn't strictly need to support both Inbox and Path in a single Channel due to being able to Group Channels, this "simplification" would have some undesirable effects: - the concept is part of IMAP and provides a certain level of "zero-conf" (in particular via NAMESPACE). having to set up two Stores and associated Channels for one Account to reproduce this functionality would add quite some redundancy to common configurations. - implementing MapInbox and move detection across Channels would add significant complexity. one reason why one would want this change in the first place is to get rid of the ambiguity of INBOX appearing right under Path. this could be avoided by either using a different magic prefix that cannot appear in actual mailbox names, or requiring a prefix for boxes inside path as well. neither approach seems worth the effort, given that nesting "INBOX" under Path causes problems for some other IMAP clients anyway. |

isync/mbsync - free (GPL) mailbox synchronization program
http://isync.sf.net/
See AUTHORS for contact information.
``mbsync'' is a command line application which synchronizes mailboxes;
currently Maildir and IMAP4 mailboxes are supported. New messages, message
deletions and flag changes can be propagated both ways.
``mbsync'' is suitable for use in IMAP-disconnected mode.
Synchronization is based on unique message identifiers (UIDs), so
no identification conflicts can occur (unlike with some other mail
synchronizers).
Synchronization state is kept in one local text file per mailbox pair;
these files are protected against concurrent ``mbsync'' processes.
Mailboxes can be safely modified while ``mbsync'' operates.
Multiple replicas of each mailbox can be maintained.
isync is the project name, while mbsync is the current executable name; this
change was necessary because of massive changes in the user interface.
* Features
* Fine-grained selection of synchronization operations to perform
* Synchronizes single mailboxes or entire mailbox collections
* Partial mirrors possible: keep only the latest messages locally
* Trash functionality: backup messages before removing them
* IMAP features:
* Supports TLS/SSL via imaps: (port 993) and STARTTLS
* Supports SASL for authentication
* Pipelining for maximum speed
* Compatibility
isync should work fairly well with any IMAP4 compliant server;
servers that support the UIDPLUS and LITERAL+ extensions are most
efficient.
Courier 1.4.3 is known to be buggy, version 1.7.3 works fine.
M$ Exchange (2013 at least) needs DisableExtension MOVE to be compatible
with the Trash functionality.
* Platforms
At some point, ``isync'' has successfully run on:
Linux, Solaris 2.7, OpenBSD 2.8, FreeBSD 4.3.
* Requirements
perl v5.14+
Berkeley DB 4.1+ (optional)
OpenSSL for TLS/SSL support (optional)
Cyrus SASL (optional)
zlib (optional)
The build from git also requires:
GNU autotools (autoconf & automake)
perl module Date::Parse (libtimedate-perl on Debian, perl-TimeDate on
Fedora and Suse)
* Installation
./autogen.sh (only when building from git)
./configure
make
sudo make install
* Help
Please see the man page for complete documentation.
