IMAP sync tool (rsync for IMAP)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm currently using two IMAP accounts, one on Cyrus-2.2 the other on Cyrus-2.3.

The one on Cyrus-2.3 will get decomissioned so I need to transfer all my email, preserving the folders/subfolders tree, under a specific folder (oldmail/foo/bar) on the 2.2 server. I need to do the bulk of the transfer sometime soon, then sync up again a few times after that, until the day the account on the 2.3 server gets nuked.

Essentially, I need a tool that I can point at servers A and B and tell it "get all the email from my account on server A to a specific folder on my account on server B, preserving the subfolders hierarchy". The tool needs to be smart enough to repeat the operation later on but then it must only transfer the new messages. The tool may run on one or the other IMAP servers, or even on a 3rd machine, since it should be network-based. Pretty much all systems are Linux 'round here, some Windows stragglers too.

Sort of like rsync for IMAP, if that makes sense.

So far, the only tool I've found is imapsync:

Anyone tried it with Cyrus? Good/bad experiences?

Are there any other tools that work better with Cyrus?
