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.

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 calandars in ical format,
|
||||
extension for those files is .ics.
|
||||
Contacts can be copied using a csv file. See the help page
|
||||

If you're using a different language in Gmail you might adapt
|

this example with the folder name translated, an example in French:

|

imapsync ...

--folder 'INBOX.Messages envoy&AOk-s' \

|
||||
The --addheader option is there because "Sent" folder messages
|
||||
sometimes lack the "Message-Id" header needed by imapsync
|
||||
when --useuid is not used. So option --addheader adds a "Message-Id" header.
|
||||
to identify messages (only when --useuid is not used).
|
||||
So option --addheader adds a "Message-Id" header.
|
||||
|

You can remove --folder "INBOX.Sent" in the example in case
|
||||
you want to sync all folders, the --regextrans2 option will
|
||||
still apply only on "INBOX.Sent" folder.

You can add --folder "INBOX.Sent" in the example in case

you want to sync only the "Sent" folder.
