Very good tool, but minor problems
by Michael - Nov 25th 2008 07:34:47
Hi,
I really like your tool, it saved my day when I migrated all our imap
servers into one big system.
Unfortunally I now have to migrate the mails to an Exchange2007 system -
and I have the problem, that if I run the sync twice I have all the mail
double in my dest-Mailbox - I assumed that this is suppressed if I use the
imap mechanisms to syncronize. Any idea ?

This tool saved us from a major desaster! I love it! Very good piece of
software, I would say a kind of "swiss army knife" for mailadmins

how to disable "skip sent mail folder" ?
by yeangigi - Oct 21st 2008 03:26:24
I found that the new function "Ignore message when it has no
header." in version 1.242
cause a big problem....it will skip ALL sent mail folder in some
servers.
I think there are no complete header in "sent mails",so the
imapsync just skip these mails.
I wonder that is there a way to disable the new function?
Thank you very much

Out of memory during "large" request for ....
by gui - Aug 28th 2008 18:53:54
Hi All
I am getting this "Out of memory during "large" request for
536875008 bytes, total sbrk() is 298216
0384 bytes at
/usr/local/share/imapsync/Mail-IMAPClient-2.2.9/lib/perl5/site_per
l/5.8.8/Mail/IMAPClient.pm line 1787." error, mentioned by one of the
poster below.
I am running imapsync-1.255, perl-5.8.8_1 on Freebsd 6.3. And the
system has 4GB of RAM.
I tried doing this in the loader.conf file:
kern.maxdsiz="2147483648" # 2GB
kern.dfldsiz="1073741824" # 1GB
kern.maxssiz="1073741824" # 1GB
But it didn't solve the problem.
Then thinking that this could be a Perl/Freebsd issue, I tried doing
imapsync on a Centos 5.2 server. Same thing happened. Got "Out of
memory!" error.
Any advice?
Thank you

imapsync 1.252 errors
by bwoodcock - May 21st 2008 19:58:32
I've got imapsync 1.252 on an opensuse10.3 box. I finally got it to
upload to gmail, but I'm having these problems:
+ NO msg #42916 [0qNSHzC8X0ZHBOB9O6qNww:1049] in Sent06
+ Copying msg #42916:1049 to folder Sent06
flags from : [\Seen]["19-Dec-2006 11:01:46 -0600"]
parse_headers want an ARRAY ref
Couldn't append msg #42916 (Subject:[0]) to folder Sent06: Error trying to
append: 14796 NO Unable to append message to folder (Failure)
That happens to quite a few messages on initial attempt to sync.
Then this happens when I attempt to run it again:
Warning : no header used or found for message 17524
no header so we ignore this message
I've got another folder that gets to either
the From [Folder] Parse 1 line or the To [Folder] Parse 1 line or actually
starts to upload the first message before it crashes with no further output
or error messages.
I looked around and couldn't find anyplace to ask about bugs or help other
than here, I'd appreciate it if someone could give me some help figuring
these things out.
Thanks!

Keeps crashing at line 1675
by Sean Sellers - Apr 9th 2008 15:07:08
I've sync'd probably 200 or so addresses without issue. However, a few of
them reliable crash with the following message:
Can't use string ("0") as a HASH ref while "strict
refs" in use at /usr/bin/imapsync line 1675.
This happens when there is a long string of:
Warning : no header used or found for message xxxxxxxxxx
no header so we ignore this message
I'm using imapsync 1.249 on CentOS 5.
Is there any command line options or anything I can add that will handle
this error?

Imapsync looses mails
by HTiberian - Mar 18th 2008 15:30:09
I'm currently migration from a cyrus 2.2x install to a new one on

It works fine, but sometimes imapsync misses mails. Tried to sync again
and again. Also specific folders only, but imapsync says there are no mails
to sync.
Maybe someone can point me where i could start to search for the error. I
have no more ideas what to do.
Here is a cut sample output:

1.2.4.1
by fratertje - Feb 24th 2008 02:19:31
Just downloaded the latest version which turned out to be of december 2007.
There were 2 scripts inside. namely imapsync (1.2.41) which isn't 3.0
compatible and imapsync2 (1.2.35) which crashes with the error message:
Undefined subroutine &main::remove_to_requested_folders called at
/usr/bin/imapsync2 line 851.
I changed remove_to into remove_from and it now seems to be working.....

Error in the manual page?
by gui - Feb 1st 2008 17:20:31
Hi, I refer to the paragraph below from man imapsync. Is this a
mistake?
Shouldn't it be
"Then, you will have max's mailbox updated from buddy's
mailbox." instead of "Then, you will have max's mailbox updated
from buddy's mailbox." ???
Thank you.
" To synchronize the imap account "buddy" on host
"imap.src.fr" to the
imap account "max" on host "imap.dest.fr" (the
passwords are located in
two files "/etc/secret1" for "buddy",

The problem is the version of IMAPClient you are using.
From v2.99 to 3.00 it was completely rewritten, and that
has broken imapsync. I've send all the relevant
information I could find to the author; if anyone else is
hacking on this problem, I would very much like to
provide the information to you also and help testing any
changes made.

Now I downgraded to an older mail::imapclient I got it working, BUT:
I just cannot seem to set the correct --prefix2 for the gmail account,
every and every time I get the message ... folder does not exist
I tried:
--prefix1 in combination with:
GMAIL
GMAIL/
[GMAIL]
[GMAIL/]
[GMAIL]/
\[GMAIL\]/
\[GMAIL\/]
But none of them work period. I get every time that the destination folder
doesn't exist...
why?

ok, I tried hacking it for a while -- simply by changing the connect2()
call around line 660 to connect(). This gets around that error, but it
does not fix the problem.
I eventually used this ruby

recommend it -- good luck!!

How to limit number of emails sync'd

Hello,
I'm trying to sync about 2.7 gig to GMail and if I use IMAPSYNC for more

Sorry I can't speak to the --maxage parameter as I'm not that far yet, but
I have a general imapsync question... when doing continuous syncs this way,
does it sync deletes as well? (i.e. if you delete from one account does it
delete from the other, or will it copy it again on the next sync?)

I didn't see any difference using --syncinternaldates.
The dates in webmail gmail are still the moment of syncing. The dates are
correct when you IMAP to your gmail-account.
Can you verify that webmail-dates are correct?
I would love to have that.

Re: Syncing with gmail
by fratertje - Nov 1st 2007 21:46:37
I'm using Mdaemon 9.5.6 and want to sync with gmail. After the transfer to
gmail, the dates of the mails are wrong in gmail's webinterface, but right
in gmail's imap.
however, some mails do have a correct date. These mails are mails that
have been copied to the folder using outlook (I mean on the mdaemon
account).
I'm now doing some test with a specific folder. The only mail that had a
proper date in that folder now returns an error:

I ran into the same problem, but I figured out why.
Hopefully, this will be helpful to you or possibly to
others...
My issue was that I had previously tried
transferring my emails using Thunderbid (which
does not preserve the message timestamps when
viewed from the web interface). Then I tried
using imapsync with --syncinternaldates (importing
into a different folder) but the dates were still not
preserved. Based on my observations, here is
what happened: Gmail recognized that I was
importing the same messages; so it just ended up
adding a new label (folder) to the existing mesage,
so effectively it just kept the first import date. I
had to go in an wipe out all references to the
imported message first. (I've been feeding my
emails to two different accounts: one is gmail the
other is my own IMAP server, and now I am trying
to merge them together, so it's pretty complex...
Oh, and I also have a bunch of filters setup which
get triggered during the IMAP copy which may or
may not be a good thing depending on your
situation.... it certainly made undoing my first
import a pain! I had to do some fancy label
trickery...)
So the bottom line is this: If per chance, you
tried a different tool first, then: clean out ALL
traces of the first import, and then try using
imapsync with --syncinternaldates. (Oh, and
make sure you remove the emails from your trash
as well.)
FYI. I'm using version 1.182 (default for Ubuntu
7.04), so I don't think you need the latest version
to make this work.

I do think you're right to say that it's Gmail's fault. The dates aren't
even the sync-dates anymore, but the first time a transfer was
successfull...
But I really don't know what to do anymore to get gmail to don't
recorgnise the mail......
First off, I always deleted the target-folfer before any copy

Re: Syncing with gmail
by fratertje - Nov 3rd 2007 03:19:41
Apparently I didn't delete the iMAP in Gmail. Google calls it labels and if
I delete the label the mails will stay in gmail.
They "iMap" is then gone.. which makes you think the mails are deleted
too...
The first time I ran it without --syncinternaldates....
All, very confusing...

Just doing 21G migration...

Just doing 21G migration using imapsync. So far it goes nicely. Would still
love to be able to make it even less verbose that it is in default mode.
Kind of total-size progressbar would be perfect. Thanks anyway ;)

IMAP mail FLAGS
by Chris - May 24th 2007 14:02:22
Hey people,
I am new to imapsync and it has helped me a lot during huge
migrations.
I am having a problem though and I would like your comments if
possible.
I am running imapsync now to keep two imap servers in sync.
This is how it is setup. All e-mails are coming to the main server which
has all the mailboxes. Then another server in a different location which
has the same mailboxes is using imapsync to get the e-mails there.
The users are using the second server to read their mail.
The problem:
When a user is deleting an e-mail imapsync is bring it back because on the
main server it still exists.
Now I need to keep the e-mails on both servers so I cannot use
--delete.
I thought maybe when imapsync is accessing the e-mails on the main server
to flag them [Seen] and imapsync would have an option like not to download
the same e-mail again unless it is flagged [Unseen]
Is there such a thing??????
Thanks

Sounds like you need a web-based IMAP client replacing the second
server.
Perhaps you should try Roundcube or the good 'ol Squirrelmail?

Building imapsync
by Anthony Rasat - May 4th 2007 06:49:06
I noticed several posts regarding perl dependency
problem. So, just to aid those lost souls out there,
here is a script that would download and
automatically build imapsync and its dependencies.
This scripts is shamelessly copied from Zimbra mail
community wiki
(http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=User_Migration#script_to_download_and_build_imapsync_and_all_of_the_required_packages).
I have change imapsync download URL which
previously showed a dead link. Copy-and-paste this
script to a file, eg. imapsyncbuilder.sh then run "sh
imapsyncbuilder.sh" as root.
#!/bin/bash
#
#CopyLeft 2006 Steve Fink
#stevef-at-ublug.org
#
#This script will get all of
#the necessary packages to
#build imapsync 1.182 except OpenSSL
#OpenSSL & it's development libraries are
#required and OpenSSL is usually installed
#already so check and get the matching libraries
#
#you have to run this script as root
#or under sudo so it can do all the installs
#
#I don't recommend doing the extended tests
#they mostly fail anyway but imapsync still works

Invalid mailbox name when source contains target seperator.
by Jan - Apr 7th 2007 15:48:15
This is a great script! I am migrating from uw imap to Cyrus. I have a
folder on UW that contains a dot in its name. The dot is the folder
seperator in Cyrus. For some reason the script implements a sub called
separator_invert() that changes the dot into a forward slash to create the
name of the target folder. The to folder thus gets an illegal name. Eg
"Gebr. Bot" becomes "Gebr/ Bot". The message is "Couldn't create
[INBOX.Mijn mappen.Gebr/ Bot]5095 NO Invalid mailbox name". Can/should
this be fixed?

Having problems with dots either in user names and folder names
by Budy - Mar 21st 2007 02:13:36
I am trying to use imapsync to sync between an Oracle mail server and cyrus
on a CentOS 4.4 box. First thing is that I have to name user slightly
different due to the fact that the imapd does not use the unixhierarchysep:
yes directive that prevents me from using a dot in the mailbox name.
Secons thing is, that imapsync won't sync folders that contain dots in
their names as well. It seems that dots in imapsync are treated as
seperators? What is really weird is, that if I enable 'unixhierarchysep:
yes' in the imapd.conf file I do get all the data synced but I still cannot
generate "account" mailboxes with dots that can be used.
This results in the following "workflow":
- start imapd with 'unixhierarchysep: yes' disabled and create the user's
mailboxes
- restart imapd with 'unixhierarchysep: yes' enabled and have imapsync
transfer all the messages
Does anybody has a tipp how to solve this?
Thanks,
Budy

Re: Having problems with dots either in user names and folder names
by Budy - Mar 22nd 2007 13:47:11
Hi,
seems that I had a little blackout when messing around with Cyrus and I
finally ended up with clearing up Cyrus files and folders and have the
whole thing started over.
The only error was when setting up the initial mailbox for the users. When
using the unixhierachsep option one has to create the user account
mailboxes like this:
cm user/foo.bar
Afterwards ImapSync just went smoothly with my test account and synced all
e-mails from my Oracle Mail Server that is included in Oracle's
Collaboration Suite.
Cheers,
Budy

I am convinced
by Chris - Mar 20th 2007 04:42:53
I am convinced that this works.
What I want to do is to transfer accounts (all accounts) from exchange
2000 to postfix /courier-imap.
The problem is that I don't have all the passwords of the users on
Exchange.
I know I can do an Ldap transfer (which I will) but after that I need to
transfer the mailboxes for 300 users to Linux.
Any advice will be appreciated.

magic tool
by xplo - Feb 16th 2007 02:07:29
While several commercial tool vendors claimed they have the holy
migration-grail, we ended up finding it here and only here.. in imapsync.
Works very well even on big imap accounts with several hundreds of
thousands of individual mails each, as long as the servers behave as
they're supposed to. (Someone at IBM should reread the IMAP and MIME
rfcs.)
Thank you for this invaluable tool.

I got the same error and it turned out that I needed to install the
HMAC_MD5.perl module from CPAN. I had originally installed imapsync from
macports so I assumed that all dependencies had been taken care of.
sudo /opt/local/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install Digest::HMAC_MD5'
This module is actually described as optional in the INSTALL document but
it seems that the functionality is used by default.

Once I tried LOGIN instead of login, it worked :)

performance estimates
by karixmatix - Dec 19th 2006 06:09:10
Going thru the comment histories, I believe that imapsync has been used for
migrating giga bytes of mailboxes. Is there an estimate from real world
experience on how much time it took for say 1 GB of mailbox(es) to be
migrated from one messaging server to another.
Thanks,

Reduced Windows Compatibility
by Tashfeen Bhimdi - Nov 4th 2006 22:27:29
Is imapsync is slowly weaning away from Windows compatibility? ActivePerl
doesn't offer a module for IO::Socket::SSL, so no Perl + SSL + Imapsync
possible without using stunnel (which works perfectly with the script
btw).
BUT you have to manually comment out the Use SSL line in the script. Not
a big deal, but in these newer versions Cram-MD5 authentication is required
otherwise the script won't work. I have access to 5 different IMAP servers
and none of them support Cram-MD5 and PLAIN auth is only supported if using
SSL within imapsync (stunnel doesn't count).
So now I had to search for the "exit(1)" line and comment that
out too.
So future versions, please make it so that:
1) Cram-MD5 isn't required or Auth PLAIN works in non-SSL mode (don't
force security on the user, since we can use stunnel which imapsync can't
detect)
2) SSL isn't required to run the script when not using the
"--ssl" command-line argument (like I said, no SSL module
available)

missuse of imapsync?
by Susanne Wenz - Sep 18th 2006 09:07:16
Hello!
I'd like to use imapsync to move old (>14 days) mails from my remote
imap-mailbox on the internet to my local imap-mailbox. There they should
stay eternal. I deleted and expunged them on the remote server to save
space and found them deleted on my local server.
Is there a possibility to do that or is it a missuse of the program. I
know,it's called imap_sync_:-)
Thank you.

You can just use an email client, (thunderbird will work) to connect to
your imap sever then use the work offline feature. That will create a copy
of the emails locally for you.

imapsync is a great help

Had to migrate from cyrus 2.0.16 to 2.2.12. I was unable to do the database
(Berkeley to Berkeley Skiplist) migration as mentioned in some howtos.
With imapsync I avoided all that stuff and copied about 2000 messages from
the old to the new mailserver. No problems did show up.
Great! Thank you very much. I did rate a 10.

thanks for the tool.
it is working very well.
7GB of email and 100's of users moved.
if this helps others; during the 'make install' perl reported it couldn't
find IO::Socket::SSL
cpan had an install question on the install of
IO::Socket::SSL
part of the prereq is openssl ... then comes the question:
----
checking for OpenSSL?-0.9.6j or 0.9.7b or newer...
I could not find your OpenSSL? in `INSTALLDIRS=site'
Please provide OpenSSL?-0.9.6j or
OpenSSL?-0.9.7b installation directory (get from
http://www.openssl.org/ if you don't have it; please note that
SSLeay? is no longer supported, see README) (C-c to abort):

Hi,
I'd used imapsync to migrate from a linux system (Conectiva Linux 10) to
Microsoft Exchange 2003 (on SBS2003) and everything was ok.
The most amazing thing (to me) is that I run the imapsync with ActivePerl
on Windows 2003 with no errors (well, I cheated, you need to comment the
Use IO::Socket::SSL line on imapsync script).
Last tip: Use ActivePerl Perl Package Manager to download and install the
Mail-IMAPClient package.
Thanks for this excelent tool.

I ran into that same error, and was able to make it go away by increasing
the maximum message size on host2. I think host2's maximum message size has
to be >= the largest message you're trying to migrate.

Hi,
I would like to move emails from InBox to a sub-folder called , say
"2005-InBox" based on the date ( Like all emails received in the Year 2005
should be moved to the folder called "2005-InBox" ) using the imapsync
tool. I tested the tool and it is really good to migrate from one account
to other account or from one server to other email server but using the
same tool, I would like to move emails in InBox of an account to a
sub-folder. ( INBOX.2005-INBOX ). Really appreciate if some one can let me
know the way to establish at server level. Thanks for your help in
advance.

SASL Auth Proxy
by John Amodeo - Jun 2nd 2005 14:19:17
Imapsync looks promising, but I can't find a way to use the Cyrus/SASL
admin proxy feature to authenticate as the super user but act on behalf of
a normal user. This feature would be incredibly useful so replication
could be done without the need to know user passwords. Any ideas?
Info about SASL proxy can be found here:
You can proxy as another user automatically with the cyrus user
imtest -t "" -a cyrus -u tc2154 host.
You give the cyrus password for authentication and then are authorized as
tc2154.
If you want to use an account besides cyrus for authentication set these
in imapd.conf
proxy_authname: proxyname
proxy_password: password
Now you could do
imtest -t "" -a proxyname -u tc2154 host.
and give the proxyname's password
It seems as if the client needs to support proxy. In the previous case,
the client is imtest.
UW Mailutil also supports proxy - but not replication (which makes
itundesirable for server migrations)

realtime backups using this app.
