imapsync problem missing emails

[zimsteve]

imapsync seems to work with courier-imap and zimbra-3.1.1 under RedHat Fedora Core 4.

On a shell I get :
....
From capability : QUOTA STARTTLS NAMESPACE IDLE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT SORT UIDPLUS CHILDREN IMAP4REV1 THREAD=REFERENCES
To capability : ID QUOTA NAMESPACE STARTTLS LOGIN-REFERRALS UNSELECT LITERAL+ UIDPLUS CHILDREN IMAP4REV1
From state Authenticated
To state Authenticated
From separator and prefix : [.][INBOX.]
To separator and prefix : [/][]
.....
From Folder [INBOX.Databases] Size: 684444 Messages: 29
....

My sourcefolder Databases contains 29 messages.

But I don't find them in the destination mailbox neither in the webmail-client nor via IMAP-Client.

I even searched messages in the filesystem /opt/zimbra/store/

Creates imapsync the folders?
Have I to subscribe the new folders?
Any further tipps?

How large are those messages? The Zimbra IMAP server limits APPENDed messages to a certain maximum size. This size defaults to 10MB, but is changeable.

Very small
From 5 k to 70 k without attachements

imapsync is great, but you have to read the README and learn about the parameters of imapsync.

First of all comes the login:

From capability : QUOTA STARTTLS NAMESPACE IDLE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT SORT UIDPLUS CHILDREN IMAP4REV1 THREAD=REFERENCES
To capability : ID QUOTA NAMESPACE STARTTLS LOGIN-REFERRALS UNSELECT LITERAL+ UIDPLUS CHILDREN IMAP4REV1
From state Authenticated
To state Authenticated
From separator and prefix : [.][INBOX.]
To separator and prefix : [/][]

After that comes the analysis without coping messages

This can take a very long time depending of the mailboxsize and number of folders. Think on hours not minutes
and do not press Crtl+C

Third comes coping messages:

From Folder [inbox.databases]
To Folder [inbox/databases]
++++ From [inbox.databases] Parse 1 ++++
++++ To [inbox/databases] Parse 1 ++++
++++ Verifying [inbox.databases] -> [inbox/databases] ++++
Time : 6 s
++++ Statistics ++++
Time : 41 sec
Messages transfered : 29
Messages skipped : 0
Total bytes transfered : 684444
Total bytes skipped : 0
Total bytes error : 0
Detected 0 errors

With the parameter folder you can sync only one folder e.g. for testing:

imapsync --nosyncacls --syncinternaldates --debugimap --debug
--host1 myhost1 --user1 username1 --password1 userpassword1
--host2 myhost2 --user2 username2 --password2 userpassword2
--folder inbox.databases

be careful with the parameter prefix

imapsync --nosyncacls --syncinternaldates --debugimap --debug
--host1 myhost1 --user1 username1 --password1 userpassword1
--host2 myhost2 --user2 username2 --password2 userpassword2
--prefix1 inbox --prefix2 inbox

was not my friend.

imapsync --nosyncacls --syncinternaldates --debugimap --debug
--host1 myhost1 --user1 username1 --password1 userpassword1
--host2 myhost2 --user2 username2 --password2 userpassword2
--prefix1 inbox

did it right
