About:
Imapsync is an IMAP tool for migrating or backing up email accounts between two servers. It works by synchronizing mailboxes, preserving flags and message structure, and can run across various platforms. Its main value is providing a reliable, stateless way to transfer mail without requiring server-side access.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform IMAP synchronization
  • Preserves message flags and structure
  • Stateless operation (no server installation required)
  • Selective sync via filters and patterns
  • Robust error handling and retry logic
Use Cases:
  • Migrating email from one provider to another
  • Creating regular backups of an IMAP mailbox
  • Synchronizing mail between a local server and a cloud provider
Alternatives:
  • offlineimap – Open-source; syncs to local Maildir, not directly between servers
  • mbsync – Fast and efficient; primarily for local sync, less focused on server-to-server migration
