<h1>Welcome to the imapsync web site!</h1>
</div>
<h2>What is imapsync?</h2>
<p><b>imapsync</b> software is a command line tool allowing incremental and
recursive <b>IMAP</b> transfers from one mailbox to another, both anywhere on the internet
or in your local network. Incremental means you can stop the transfer at any time
and restart it later efficiently. Recursive means all folders hierarchy can be copied.
</p>
<p><b>imapsync</b> is useful for imap account <b>migration</b> or imap account <b>backup</b>.
</p>
<p><b>imapsync</b> is <b>not adequate</b> for maintaining two active imap accounts
in synchronization where the user plays independently on both sides.
Use <a href="https://github.com/nicolas33/offlineimap"><b>offlineimap</b></a> (written by John Goerzen)
or <a href="http://isync.sourceforge.net/"><b>mbsync</b></a> (written by Michael R. Elkins)
for <b>2 ways synchronizations</b>.
</p>
<h2><a id="NUMBERS"></a>Some numbers for 2011</h2>
<ul>
<li>Number of <b>imapsync users</b> per month: between <b>2 and 3 thousands </b>users</li>
<li>Number of <b>imapsync transfers</b> per month: between <b>3 and 11 millions mailboxes </b>transfers </li>
<li>Pourcentage between <b>operating systems</b> users running imapsync:
<ul>
<li><b>Linux: 65 %</b></li>
<li><b>Win32: 18 %</b></li>
<li><b>Darwin: 11 %</b></li>
<li>FreeBSD: 6 %</li>
<li>Solaris: 0.4 %</li>
<li>OpenBSD: 0.1 %</li>
