imap-connection lost and ServiceException+MessagineException

[gruad23]

I'm just trying to migrate a mailbox from a cyrus-imap-server to zimbra. I tried a lot of imap-sync tools and everyone fails cause it looses the connection to zimbra. Even copy inside a GUI-client like thunderbird fails after a while. The mailbox is around ~5GB mails in ~ 150 nested mailfolders.

By now I try the linux-commandline tool mailsync cause some other posters told me that it works better with zimbra than the widely used imapsync.

mailsync manages to sync around 100MB on each run and then the following error happens:

[[CLOSED] IMAP connection lost]
Error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection lost
[[CLOSED] IMAP connection lost]
Error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection lost
[Trying IP address [IP.OF.ZIMBRA.SERVER]]
Error: APPEND failed
[[CLOSED] IMAP connection lost]
Error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection lost
[[CLOSED] IMAP connection lost]
Error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection lost

The mailbox-log of my zimbra-suite tells me the following:
