@arkvf8 @KarugamoKaihatu With POP3, messages can stay on the server too, it's a client choice; but all messages will stay in the single INBOX and no tags attached there.

@pactechnologies @OwenGregorian @DataJuggler007 Sure!
And check your backup once in a while...

[Gilles LAMIRAL @imapsync]

@mthaichi Imapsync is there since 2001, free, open and gratis, most of the time :-)

[Gilles LAMIRAL @imapsync]

@CG1050 imapsync does not add anything to the messages migrated.

[Gilles LAMIRAL @imapsync]

@MariusdeBeer --ssl1 should be useless as imapsync probes port 993 by default.
--tls1 ? same remark as --ssl1 but on 143
--fastio1? I don't know what it does...

Have you seen the visual interface at

?

@Maki_Daisuke there is an imapsync visual online service at https://t.co/KhmNwLdZtn

[Gilles LAMIRAL @imapsync]

@ocen_chris It's gratis below 3 GB but also above 3 GB. The statement you mention remains true. It's just a trick, an incentive, to pay. I couldn't stand to see transfers truncated under 3 GB because of me.
But I like/need money :-)
So, I found this marketing solution satisfying enough.

@LiamKearney99 The feature "there are over N messages would you like to run in parallel?" doesn't sound good to me. First, it's usually cumbersome for the user when a command becomes interactive. Second, parallel runs on the same account is error-prone.

[Gilles LAMIRAL @imapsync]

@LiamKearney99 The feature "this mailbox could be mapped to that mailbox" is done by the --automap option, without asking though, it's based on known cases.
So, what this discussion suggests is that I should turn on --automap by default, shouldn't I?

[Gilles LAMIRAL @imapsync]

@LiamKearney99 I rarely fight about compatibility, I usually fight against my laziness to make changes :-)
What changes would you like in the flags list or the default behavior?

[Gilles LAMIRAL @imapsync]

@LiamKearney99 There is this ready to run script allowing parallel runs:
https://t.co/hXMcngKkEa
It uses the magical "parallel" command. Parallel was first developed because of the limitations of xargs.

[Gilles LAMIRAL @imapsync]

@LiamKearney99 You do not recommend imapsync :-)

@arnedge Okay.
But how to clean up?
What criteria?
How long will it take to clean up?
Disk space is so cheaper as time goes on so a cleanup is useless, time consuming and prone to delete good stuff.
Either you go to a brain new mailbox, forget everything, or keep everything.
