Fork of isync with filter support
c8f402e43f
the underlying metaphor refers to an inhumane practice, so using it casually is rightfully offensive to many people. it isn't even a particularly apt metaphor, as it suggests a strict hierarchy that is counter to mbsync's highly symmetrical mode of operation. the far/near terminology has been chosen as the replacement, as it is a natural fit for the push/pull terminology. on the downside, due to these not being nouns, a few uses are a bit awkward, and several others had to be amended to include 'side'. also, it's conceptually quite close to remote/local, which matches the typical use case, but is maybe a bit too suggestive of actually non-existing limitations. the new f/n suffixes of the -C/-R/-X options clash with pre-existing options, so direct concatenation of short options is even less practical than before (some suffixes of -D already clashed), but doing that leads to unreadable command lines anyway. as with previous deprecations, all pre-existing command line and config options keep working, but yield a warning. the state files are silently upgraded. |

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.
