@ -278,14 +320,33 @@ To skip several headers you can use --skipheader one time
imapsync ... --skipheader '^X-|^Status|^Bcc'
or several times (same result)
imapsync ... --skipheader '^X-' --skipheader '^Status' --skipheader '^Bcc'
If you think you have too many header to avoid just use
imapsync ... --useheader 'Message-ID' --skipsize
Remark. (Trick found by Tomasz Kaczmarski)
Option --useheader 'Message-ID' asks the server
to send only header lines begining with 'Message-ID'.
Some (buggy) servers send the whole header (all lines)
instead of the 'Message-ID' line. In that case, a trick
to keep the --useheader filtering behavior is to use
--skipheader with a negative lookahead pattern :
imapsync ... --skipheader '^(?!Message-ID)' --skipsize
Read it as "skip every header except Message-ID".

Q. I am transferring mails from one IMAP server to another. I am using
an SSL connection. Transferring huge mails (>10MB) takes ages.
R. try to transfer the mails without SSL connection. SSL code outside
imapsync uses a memory buffer, which gets increased upon reading of
mails by 4096 bytes. This creates a huge load on the host imapsync
runs on by copying the memory buffers for every 4096 byte step.
This does not occur without SSL.

Q. I want to play with headers line and --regexmess but I want to leave
the body as is
R. The header/body separation is a blank line so an example:
