+Some explanation about the options given later:

+https://imapsync.lamiral.info/README
+...
+ --noabletosearch    : Makes --minage and --maxage options use the internal 
+                       dates given by a FETCH imap command instead of the 
+                       "Date:" header. Internal date is the arrival date 
+                       in the mailbox.
+                       --noabletosearch equals --noabletosearch1 --noabletosearch2
+
+ --regexmess    reg  : Apply the whole regex to each message before transfer.
+                       Example: 's/\000/ /g' # to replace null by space.
+ --regexmess    reg  : and this one, etc.
+
+I'm not sure anymore about the need of --noabletosearch with Yahoo, maybe
+they fixed the issue about the standard imap searching command SEARCH
+they didn't honor before.

+R. Example:
+
+  ./imapsync \
+    --host1 XXX \
+    --user1 Billy@other.com \
+    --password1 billysecreta \
+    --host2 imap.mail.yahoo.com \

+You wonder why there is this ugly regex, what it does and where does it 
+come from?
+
+It's there to get rid of the errors 
+"BAD [CLIENTBUG] Additional arguments found after last expected argument"
+when copying some messages to Yahoo.
+It adds a final \r\n on a message if a final \r\n is missing.
