Re: IMAP sync tool (rsync for IMAP)

Hello,

This problem really annoys most people, including me.
The old version kills all the system memory and even create zombie.

syncinternaldates option is very important to many mail client.
By missing this option, I think this is a GREAT impact.

Hopely you guys find a prompt solution.

Greatly thanks
Patrick

I'd started taking this offline because it's not entirely on-topic for info-cyrus, but I realize that it has broad impact...

I have 2 users left on an OLD Cyrus installation I want to get off and was hoping to use imapsync. It seemed to work just fine except dates of the

You need the syncinternaldates. Did you do a sync already without that option? You need to toast the destination and resync it to get the dates fixed...

--syncinternaldates stopped working at imapsync 1.200 (current is 1.204), as a side effect of the append_string->append_file change suggested by John Capo and Florin Andrei earlier in this thread, on Dec 26, 2006. That change was made to avoid memory exhaustion, see http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg31296.html

The underlying problem is that at least as of Mail::IMAPClient 2.2.9, the append_file function doesn't handle INTERNALDATE at all.

A bunch of people here have talked about minor patches to Mail::IMAPClient. Has anyone added the $d argument to append_file and verified functionality?

Most clients display Date: header, but some may show or use INTERNALDATE. For example, the Zimbra web interface is incapable of showing or sorting by Date:.
