.SH NAME
|
|
isync - synchronize IMAP4 and maildir mailboxes
|
|
..
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B isync
|
|
[
|
|
.I options...
|
|
]
|
|
.I file
|
|
..
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B isync
|
|
is a command line application which synchronizes a local maildir-style
|
|
mailbox with a remote IMAP4 mailbox, suitable for use in IMAP-disconnected
|
|
mode. Multiple copies of the remote IMAP4 mailbox can be maintained, and
|
|
all flags are synchronized.
|
|
..
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB-c\fR, \fB--config\fR \fIfile\fR
|
|
Read configuration from
|
|
.I file
|
|
By default, configuration is read from ~/.isyncrc if it exists.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -d, --delete
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B isync
|
|
to delete messages from the local maildir mailbox which do not exist on the
|
|
IMAP server. By default,
|
|
.I dead
|
|
messages are
|
|
.B not
|
|
deleted.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -e, --expunge
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B isync
|
|
to permanently remove all messages marked for deletion in both the local
|
|
maildir mailbox and the remote IMAP mailbox. By default, messages are
|
|
.B not
|
|
expunged.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -f, --fast
|
|
Causes
|
|
.B isync
|
|
to skip the step of synchronzing message flags between the local maildir
|
|
mailbox and the IMAP mailbox. Only new messages existing on the server will
|
|
be fetched into the local mailbox.
|
|
.B NOTE:
|
|
This command works by checking the \\Recent flag on messages in the IMAP
|
|
mailbox. If you access the IMAP mailbox from multiple locations, the
|
|
\\Recent flag will be lost between sessions, so you must do a full
|
|
synchronization to fetch the messages which do not exist in the local
|
|
mailbox.
|

..
|
|
.SH CONFIGURATION
|
|
.B isync
|
|
reads
|
|
.I ~/.isyncrc
|
|
to load default configuration data. Each line of the configuration file
|
|
consists of a command. The following commands are understood:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBMailbox\fR \fIpath\fR
|
|
Defines a local maildir mailbox. All configuration commands following this
|
|
line, up until the next
|
|
.I Mailbox
|
|
command, apply to this mailbox only.
|
|
..
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBHost\fR \fIname\fR
|
|
Defines the DNS name or IP address of the IMAP server
|
|
..
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBPort\fR \fIport\fR
|
|
Defines the TCP port number on the IMAP server to use (Default: 143)
|
|
..
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBBox\fR \fImailbox\fR
|
|
Defines the name of the remote IMAP mailbox associated with the local
|
|
maildir mailbox (Default: INBOX)
|
|
..
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBUser\fR \fIusername\fR
|
|
Defines the login name on the IMAP server (Default: current user)
|
|
..
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBPass\fR \fIpassword\fR
|
|
Defines the password for
|
|
.I username
|
|
on the IMAP server. Note that this option is
|
|
.B NOT
|
|
required. If no password is specified in the configuration file,
|
|
.B isync
|
|
will prompt you for it.
|
|
..
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fBAlias\fR \fIstring\fR
|
|
Defines an alias for the mailbox which can be used as a shortcut on the
|
|
command line.
|
|
.P
|
|
Configuration commands that appear prior to the first
|
|
.B Mailbox
|
|
command are considered to be
|
|
.I global
|
|
options which are used as defaults when those specific options are not
|
|
specifically set for a defined Mailbox. For example, if you use the same
|
|
login name for several IMAP servers, you can put a
|
|
.B User
|
|
command before the first
|
|
.B Mailbox
|
|
command, and then leave out the
|
|
.B User
|
|
command in the sections for each mailbox.
|
|
.B isync
|
|
will then use the global value by default.

SSL is currently not used when connecting to the IMAP server. A future
|
|
version of
|
|
.B isync
|
|
is expected to support this.
