NAME

       mailsync - Synchronize IMAP mailboxes

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the mailsync command.

       mailsync  is  a  way of keeping a collection of mailboxes synchronized. The mailboxes may be on the local
       filesystem or on an IMAP server.

       There are three invocations of mailsync:

       The first will synchronize two sets of mailboxes - in mailsync referred to as "stores".

       The second form will list the contents of a store. It's usage is  recommended  before  synchronizing  two
       stores to check whether mailsync is seeing what you are expecting it to see.

       The third form will show you what has changed in a store since the last sync.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -f file
              Use alternate 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 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.
