Q. On Windows, some passwords contain $ characters. Login fails.
|
|
|
|
R1. Enclose passwords between ""
|
|
|
|
imapsync ... --password1 "zzz$zz$$z"
|
|
|
|
R2. Prefix each $ character with a ^ since ^ is the escape character
|
|
on Windows
|
|
|
|
imapsync ... --password1 zzz^$zz^$^$z
|
|
|
|
For a password that is exactly the 8 characters string $%&<>|^"
|
|
you have to enter
|
|
|
|
imapsync ... --password1 "$%%&<>|^"^"
|
|

Q. On Windows, some passwords begin with an equal = character.
|
|
Login fails. What can I do?
|
|
|
|
R. Use twice equals == characters instead; For example, if =secret
|
|
is the password then use:
|
|
|
|
imapsync ... --password1 ==secret
|
|
|
|
or even
|
|
|
|
imapsync ... --password1 "==secret"
|
