  • You can remap IMAP source folder to destination folder. It’s very likely that sent folder needs to be remapped between different hosts. I suggest you to use the dry-run option and examine the log to see if the folders are correctly mapped.

    More in detail, I created an user just to run imapsync as a good practice in Linux. Then downloaded imapsync in a subfolder of the user home directory, created two very simple scripts, one with the imapsync command with all the parameters I needed and one for the token. Lastly, using crontab -e, I added two entry one for each script.

    You don’t need to put imapsync into etc, it is not a binary and, as far as I know, there is no package that you can install with a package manager, it’s just a script that you download and execute. Anyway, where you put that, its up to you.


  • Imapsync is a (PERL?) script you download, and then run it passing parameters.

    If you need OAuth, and it seems so since you want to sync a Google account, you have to download some more files that help you obtain an access token for Gmail.

    But as far as I remember, there are no config files needed to run it. Infact I am cron running it every 5 minutes to one way sync an IMAP account to Office365 (needs an OAuth token too, and a second script to refresh the token every hour)

    Feel free to ask for more, but I cannot guarantee a timely response.













  • What if an almighty God created the universe without evil, but with free-will, and then one angel decided to challange the way God rules, so that God has to let him rules to show everyone whose way of rule is the best?

    Simply killing that angel would not answer the challenge, on the contrary, killing that angel would demonstrate that God is a dictator.

    Pasted from a reply to another user.


  • And even if it does not make sense, here we are. We ourself are the proof that things are not true or false just on the basis of our understanding of those same things.
