NAME

       smd-translate - translates mailbox names according to predefined patterns

SYNOPSIS

       smd-translate [-m mode] [-d direction] endpoint mailbox

DESCRIPTION

       smd-translate  translates  mailbox names according to predefined patterns.  It is designed
       to be used in the configuration file of smd-push(1) and smd-pull(1).

       Refer to smd-config(5) for a longer discussion on translators.

       Supported modes follow.

       oimap-dovecot

       This mode is designed to make the transition of  offlineimap  users  to  smd  simpler.  It
       assumes remote mailboxes are named like in the following:

           Maildir/cur
           Maildir/.sub.folder/new

       The corresponding local mailboxes are named like in the following:

           Mail/cur
           Mail/sub.folder/new

       nodots

       This  mode  simply gets rid of all dots. It assumes remote mailboxes are named like in the
       following:

           Maildir/cur
           Maildir/.sub.folder/new

       The corresponding local mailboxes are named like in the following:

           Mail/cur
           Mail/sub/folder/new

       move

       This mode just replaces the root  of  the  mailbox,  i.e.  substitutes  MAILBOX_LOCAL  for
       MAILBOX_REMOTE and viceversa.

USAGE IN CONFIGURATION FILE

       Assuming the MAILBOX_LOCAL configuration variable is set to Mail and the MAILBOX_REMOTE is
       set  to  Maildir,  one   can   use   the   following   configuration   file   snippet   in
       ~/.smd/config.endpoint:

           TRANSLATOR_RL="smd-translate -m oimap-dovecot -d RL endpoint"
           TRANSLATOR_LR="smd-translate -m oimap-dovecot -d LR endpoint"

       To test your setup use the smd-check-conf(1) utility.

       -m mode
