Q. Can I use imapsync to migrate emails from pop server to imap server?
Q. Can I use imapsync to migrate emails from pop3 server to imap server?
R. No.
R1. No.
You can migrate emails from pop server to imap server with pop2imap:
http://www.linux-france.org/prj/pop2imap/
R2. Yes
Many pop3 servers runs in parallel with an imap server on the
exactly the same mailboxes. They serve the same INBOX
(imap serves INBOX and several other folders, pop3 serves only INBOX)
So have a try with imapsync on the same host1.

Q. imapsync calculates 479 messages in a folder but only transfers 400
messages. What's happen?
R. imapsync considers the header part of a message (as a whole or
R1. imapsync considers the header part of a message (as a whole or
only specific lines depending on --useheader --skipheader)
to identify a message on both sides.
Two consequences:
Consequences:
1) Messages with no header are not transferred.
2) Duplicate messages (identical header) are not transferred
1) Duplicate messages (identical header) are not transferred
several times.
The result is that you can have more messages on host1 than on host2.
R2. With option --useuid imapsync doesn't use headers to identify
messages on both sides but it uses their imap uid. In than case
duplicates are transfered and --delete2 won't work.
=======================================================================
Q. I run multiple imapsync applications at the same time then get a
warning "imapsync.pid already exists, overwriting it".
Is this a potential problem when trying to sync multiple
IMAP account in parallel?
R1. No issue with the file imapsync.pid if you don't use its content.
This file can help you to manage multiple runs by sending
signals to the processes (sigterm or sigkill) using their PID,
each run can have its own pid file with --pidfile option.
The file imapsync.pid contains the PID of the imapsync process.
This file is removed at the end of a normal run.
You can saafely ignore the warning if you don't use imapsync.pid.

The flag "NonJunk" may be a invalid flag for your server
so use for example:
imapsync ... --regexflag 's/NonJunk//g'
imapsync ... --regexflag "s/NonJunk//g"
Remark (thanks to Arnt Gulbrandsen):
IMAP system flags have to begin with \ character.
