NAME

       mailsync - Synchronize IMAP mailboxes

SYNOPSIS

       mailsync [options] channel
       mailsync [options] store
       mailsync [options] channel store

DESCRIPTION

       mailsync  is  a command line tool to keep collections of mailboxes synchronized. Mailboxes
       can reside on the local filesystem or on an IMAP server.

       mailsync can be invoked in three ways:

       mailsync channel        Synchronizes two  sets  of  mailboxes.  In  c-client  taxonomy,  a
                               library  on  which  mailsync  relies  to implement mailbox access,
                               mailboxes are referred to as "stores".

       mailsync store          Lists the contents of a store. It's recommended to  execture  this
                               command  before synchronizing two stores to check whether mailsync
                               is seeing what you are expecting it to see.

       mailsync channel store  Lists what has changed in a store since the last sync.

OPTIONS

       -f file  Use alternative config file.

       -n       Don't delete messages when synchronizing.

       -D       Delete any empty mailboxes after synchronizing..

       -m       Show from, subject, etc. of messages that are killed or moved when synchronzing.

       -M       Also show message-ids (turns on -m).

       -s       Says what would be done without doing it (turns on  -n).   Attention:  this  will
                change the "Seen" flag of emails and will create new, empty mailboxes in order to
                be able to compare them.

       -v       Show IMAP chatter.

       -vb      Show warning about braindammaged message ids

       -vw      Show warnings

       -vp      Show RFC 822 mail parsing errors

       -h       Show help.

       -d       Show debug info.  -di Debug/log IMAP protocol telemetry.  -dc Debug config.

       -t mid_type
                Use mailsync with specified message-id algorithm. Currently you have  the  choice
                between  md5 and msgid (default). msgid uses the Message-ID in the mail header to
                identify a message. md5 calculates a MD5 hash from the "From",  "To",  "Subject",
                "Date" and "Message-ID" headers and uses that as message identifier.

                If  you  use  mailclients and servers that allow empty Message-IDs (f.ex. in mail
                drafts) then you should use the md5 algorithm.
