imapsync For Linux

imapsync is a tool for facilitating incremental recursive IMAP transfers from one mailbox to another.

imapsync is useful for mailbox migration, and reduces the amount of data transferred by only copying messages that are not present on both servers.

Read, unread, and deleted flags are preserved, and the process can be stopped and resumed. The original messages can optionally be deleted after a successful transfer.

imapsync works fine under any Unix OS.

You'll find a compressed tarball called imapsync-x.xx.tgz where x.xx is the version number. Untar the tarball where you want :

tar xzvf imapsync-x.xx.tgz

Go into the directory imapsync-x.xx and read the INSTALL file.
