Description: Fast two-way synchronization program for QRESYNC-capable IMAP servers
- InterIMAP performs stateful synchronization between two IMAP4rev1 servers.
- Such synchronization is made possible by the QRESYNC extension from [RFC7162];
- for convenience reasons servers must also support LIST-EXTENDED [RFC5258],
- LIST-STATUS [RFC5819] and UIDPLUS [RFC4315].
+ InterIMAP performs stateful bi-directional synchronization between two
+ IMAP4rev1 servers. Compared to the so-called "full" synchronization
+ solutions, InterIMAP is both much faster and parsimonious regarding network
+ traffic.
+ .
+ Stateful synchronization is made possible by the QRESYNC extension from
+ [RFC7162]; for convenience reasons servers must also support LIST-EXTENDED
+ [RFC5258], LIST-STATUS [RFC5819] and UIDPLUS [RFC4315].
.
Furthermore, while InterIMAP can work with servers lacking support for LITERAL+
[RFC2088] and MULTIAPPEND [RFC3502], these extensions greatly improve
