A basic (and really working) example in a shell terminal is the following: </p><pre>
imapsync --host1 test1.lamiral.info --user1 test1 --password1 "secret1" \
--host2 test2.lamiral.info --user2 test2 --password2 "secret2"
After Imapsync instalattion, a basic (and really working) example in a shell terminal is the following: </p>
<pre>./imapsync --host1 test1.lamiral.info --user1 test1 --password1 "secret1" \
--host2 test2.lamiral.info --user2 test2 --password2 "secret2"
</pre>
<p>
But it's better to edit a shell script and run it in a terminal.
Take this Bourne shell script example <b><a href="./examples/imapsync_example.sh">imapsync_example.sh</a></b>
Take this Bourne shell script example <b><a href="./examples/imapsync_example.sh">imapsync_example.sh</a></b>
and adapt with your own parameters.
