Q. Can I copy or sync Calendar or Contacts with imapsync?
|
||||
|
||||
R. No. It's because most IMAP servers don't get contacts and calendar
|
||||
events via IMAP. In other words, messages synced by imapsync from
|
||||
Calendar or Contacts folders are not used by email servers to set
|
||||
or get the contacts or calendars.
|
||||
No way via IMAP, no way via imapsync.

||||
See next question.

Q. How can I copy or synchronize Calendars or Contacts?
|
||||
|
||||
R1. It can't be done with imapsync.
|
||||
|
||||
R2. It can be done, depending on the email server softwares used.
|
||||
|
||||
a) From Exchange to Exchange, export contacts and calendar to
|
||||
PST format files on host1 and import them on host2.
|
||||
|
||||
b) From Gmail to Gmail, export and import calendars in ical format,
|
||||
extension for those files is .ics.
|
||||
Contacts can be copied using a csv file. See the help page
|
||||
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=1669027
|
||||
|
||||
c) Etc. Search the web. There's also specific tools and paid services.
|
||||
There's no silver bullet to migrate Calendars and Contacts,
|
||||
if you find one, tell me!

The workaround solution given at the previous link,

ie using \\?\D:", does not work for imapsync.

So this imapsync Windows bug is still pending and needs a fix using

a different technic to cache, like a database file for example.

|

A solution to fix the issue is to use a Linux virtual host on a
|

Windows box, with VirtualBox or VmWare etc. There is no bug this way,

pathnames can be several thousands charaters long.

Better said that done but not so difficult nor expensive these days,

VirtualBox is free and VmWare Player is free for personal or test use.

R. Usually "Out of memory" errors are related to old days,

Look at imapsync output first lines to get the Mail::IMAPClient release used.

Then upgrade Mail::IMAPClient Perl module if needed.
