imapsync error when using ssl

[pc-nico]

Hello....


my commandline:

/usr/bin/imapsync --ssl1 --ssl2 --noauthmd5 --buffersize 8192000 --nosyncacls --subscribe --syncinternaldates --host1 192.168.0.150 --user1 username --host2 foo.bar --user2 username

now the error... while connecting to Host 1 i recive this message:
Error connecting to 192.168.0.150:993:

I think the double point after 993 is to much...
192.168.0.150:993:
but i can´t change this...
(I also try --port1 993 , but the same error....)
When i left --ssl1 i receive the message, that no cleartext login are allow...

Background: Host1 is the Zimbra Server... i would like to sync one postbox with another mailserver (no zimbra)

I had the same issue... Check out [SOLVED] IMAPSYNC Issues with Initial SSL Connection

I gave up on using SSL and instead opened up port 143 (IMAP non SSL) on both machines. I used iptables to lockdown the connections so only the two machines could use the non-encrypted port on each other.

It is not optimal but the imapsync worked like a charm - slow but reliable.
