@OwenGregorian @DataJuggler007 A company can disappear in a day, sometimes with your data.
Or the data can disappear without a useful recovery path.
Even if you outsource email hosting, it is still a good idea to keep your own backups, for example with imapsync.

I just discovered my email provider has both an API and a MCP server.
I may be on the verge of winning this war.

My bank is sending me daily emails. My grocery store is sending daily emails. My electric company is sending daily emails. My water company is sending emails and texts. Every corporation in America is now a nuisance pest.

@mthaichi Imapsync is there since 2001, free, open and gratis, most of the time :-)
English
@CG1050 imapsync does not add anything to the messages migrated.
English
After IMAP migration to Gmail or Office 365, Outlook shows the migration date instead of the original on every email. Tools like BitTitan, imapsync or CloudM add a Received header with today's date. Fix: redate.io/?v=1
English
@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
?
English
@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.

@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.
English
@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.
Liam Kearney@LiamKearney99
Luckily it seems AWS foots the bill for you to existing migration service providers so I guess I'll investigate that (might only be for enterprise (which is the normal use of AWS workman))
English
@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?
English
@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?
English
@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
English
@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.
English
@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.
English
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_…
English
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…。

@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.
