As always, YMMV, so make backups and test on copies. I'm not at all sure about "delete", like I said I want to keep the source. Mean time I've discovered that multiple runs will eventually bring the "Seen" in sync but I'm still puzzled by the mismatch of the message numbers. =:-o I've got one folder for which a run like: imapsync --syncinternaldates --host1 aaa.bbb --host2 192.168 --authuser1 cyrus --password1 XXX --authuser2 cyrus --password2 "WWW" --subscribe --user1 username --user2 username --ssl1 --ssl2 --folderrec INBOX.smth.trouble --fastio1 --fastio2 produces a result like ++++ Calculating sizes ++++ From Folder [INBOX.smth.trouble] Size: 181794267 Messages: 819 Total size: 181794267 Total messages: 819 Time : 2 s ++++ Calculating sizes ++++ To Folder [INBOX.smth.trouble] Size: 181783200 Messages: 817 Total size: 181783200 Total messages: 817 Time : 1 s ... so there it is: one folder has two more messages, why are they ignored? :-o Of course the report says: ++++ Statistics ++++ Time : 12 sec Messages transferred : 0 Messages skipped : 817 Total bytes transferred: 0 Total bytes skipped : 181783200 Total bytes error : 0 Detected 0 errors ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
