Q. Does imapsync support IMAP over TLS (IMAPS)?
R. Not natively.
but, 2 ways, at least :
R. Yes natively since release 1.161.
still, 2 ways, at least :
a) Use --ssl1 and/or --ssl2 options
--ssl1 tells imapsync to use ssl on host1
--ssl2 tells imapsync to use ssl on host2
a) There are patches in patches/ directory to do this
in imapsync code.
I tried to include them but it broke my tests.
It works but not always.
b) Use stunnel
http://www.stunnel.org/
Assuming there is an imaps (993) server on imap.foo.org,
on your localhost machine (or bar machine) run :
stunnel -c -d imap -r imap.foo.org:imaps
or
or using names instead of numbers
stunnel -c -d 143 -r imap.foo.org:993
then use imapsync on localhost (or bar machine) imap (143) port.
=======================================================================
Q: How to have an imaps server ?
R.
a) Install one
b) or use stunnel :
Assuming there is an imap (143) server on localhost
stunnel -d 993 -r 143 -f
c) or use stunnel on inetd
imaps stream tcp nowait cyrus /usr/sbin/stunnel -s cyrus -p /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem -r localhost:imap2

Q. I want the --folder 'MyFolder' option be recurse.
R. Do not use the --folder option.
Instead, use --include '^MyFolder'
Folder "MyFolder" and all its subfolders will be handled.
Then the folder "MyFolder" and all its subfolders will be handled.

Q. My imap server does not accept a message and warns
"Invalid header". What is the problem ?
R. You fall in the classical mbox versus Maildir/ format
problem. May be you use a misconfigured procmail rule.
A header beginning like the following one is in the mbox
format, header line 1 has no colon behind "From", header
lines 2 through N do have a colon :
From foo@yoyo.org Sat Jun 22 01:10:21 2002
Return-Path: <foo@yoyo.org>
Received: ...
Any Maidir/ configured imap server may refuse this message
since its header is invalid. The first "From " line is not
valid. It lacks a colon character ":".
To solve this problem you have several solutions a) or b):
a) Remove these first "From " line manually for each message
before using imapsync. Don't think to add a colon to this
line since you will end with two "From:" lines (just look at
the other lines)
b) Run imapsync with the following option :
--regexmess 's/\AFrom \w .*\n//'
