@MariusdeBeer --ssl1 should be useless as imapsync probes port 993 by default. --tls1 ? same remark as --ssl1 but on 143 --fastio1? I don't know what it does... Have you seen the visual interface at imapsync.lamiral.info/X/u.html ?

If you've ever had to use #ImapSync to migrate mail from one server to another, you know what a pain the terminal commands are. I wrote this GUI for it using Flask to make things easier for myself.

@Maki_Daisuke there is an imapsync visual online service at imapsync.lamiral.info/X/

GmailのPOP3サポートが終了してしまったので、imapsyncをサーバレスで動かす方法をGeminiに聞いてみたら、「GitHub Actionsで動かすのが簡単で無料でイチオシですよ！」って言われて今ココ👇️ （※詳しいやり方も教えてくれたけど、あえて貼らないでおきます）

@ocen_chris It's gratis below 3 GB but also above 3 GB. The statement you mention remains true. It's just a trick, an incentive, to pay. I couldn't stand to see transfers truncated under 3 GB because of me. But I like/need money :-) So, I found this marketing solution satisfying enough.

@imapsync Ohh Did it change?

@LiamKearney99 The feature "there are over N messages would you like to run in parallel?" doesn't sound good to me. First, it's usually cumbersome for the user when a command becomes interactive. Second, parallel runs on the same account is error-prone.

@imapsync But it would be very handy if imapsync connected to the hosts and then asked questions like: - this mailbox could be (automatically flag) mapped to that mailbox (leave empty to confirm) or type the destination: - there are over N messages would you like to run in parallel?

This design isn't inspiring confidence, AWS foots the bill so that gives this service some trust but urrr their website design kinda ruins it.

@LiamKearney99 The feature "this mailbox could be mapped to that mailbox" is done by the --automap option, without asking though, it's based on known cases. So, what this discussion suggests is that I should turn on --automap by default, shouldn't I?

@LiamKearney99 I rarely fight about compatibility, I usually fight against my laziness to make changes :-) What changes would you like in the flags list or the default behavior?

@imapsync I guess you have to fight a lot of compatibility to change stuff since your software has been around for so long. You should consider adding a —modern-defaults flag which lets you change stuff up

@LiamKearney99 There is this ready to run script allowing parallel runs: imapsync.lamiral.info/examples/sync_… It uses the magical "parallel" command. Parallel was first developed because of the limitations of xargs.

@imapsync Nah it’s good software for what it does, it worked for me, thank you. I just wish the default flags / just run and gun used some sort of parallelism without having to fiddle with xargs etc.

@LiamKearney99 You do not recommend imapsync :-)

Ended up using IMAPSYNC. Do not recommend.

@divine_nnodim The imapsync online service is visual

Eventually went with imapsync. Funny thing is, I knew imapsync was the right tool from the start. I just kept postponing it because I didn’t feel like living in the terminal. Lesson learned.

This week was spent migrating mail data between servers. Tried importing PSTs via Outlook first — dead end. Switched to a few GUI tools — more friction than progress.

@ceekz Imapsync supports OAuth imapsync.lamiral.info/oauth2/oauth2_…

imapsyncで大学のメールを別のサーバに自動で移そうと思ったけど、OAuthしか対応していない上に、追加のアプリ登録もしないみたいだから、無理だなー。Thunderbirdを常時起動して何かうまくする方法を考えないといけない…。 u.tsukuba.ac.jp/email-u-client/

Does anyone know how to stop macOS from killing processes? My imapsync process was killed overnight by the system. I have 100,000 emails to sync. And no, it wasn't disconnected by the IMAP server, the process was killed (evident by text in Terminal "killed")

@arnedge Okay. But how to clean up? What criteria? How long will it take to clean up? Disk space is so cheaper as time goes on so a cleanup is useless, time consuming and prone to delete good stuff. Either you go to a brain new mailbox, forget everything, or keep everything.

Helping migrate 40,000 emails from one account into Google Workspace because they had to be imported. If your business email’s been active since the ‘90s, chances are it’s overdue for a cleanup.

@Rainmaker1973 poem

What is the first word you see?

@yenalsaral App passwords are still available on Google Workspace.

Google Workspace'den kendi sunucumuza imapsync ile çektirmiyo ibne google mailleri. Başına gelen var mı?

@DrQz 2.5 Production environments "Applying the USL to performance data collected from with is a current area of ." ???

How to Quantify Scalability: Synopsis of The Universal Scalability Law (USL) has just been posted in PDF format for improved readability. I did this post haste so, reporting any typos, broken links, etc., is always appreciated. perfdynamics.com/Manifesto/USLs… #performance

@DrQz typo at 2.1 Virtual load testing "set of load measurementsat least"

@DrQz perfdynamics.com/Manifesto/USLs… is okay.

@JVal48103 Okay. Present him a brand new fresh girl to replace you. Will he switch? You may think it's not the same thing, at all. Well, kind of...

I bought my husband a new wallet probably 5 months ago. He has no desire to switch over to it yet. The left is his current wallet. My dad has done the same thing. Men, is this a universal thing? Do you have a hard time giving up the old, faithful, falling apart wallet? 😅
