Description: IMAP-to-IMAP synchronization program for QRESYNC-capable servers
- IMAPSync is a synchronization program between two QRESYNC-capable (RFC 7162)
- IMAP4rev1 servers. Other required IMAP capabilities are LIST-EXTENDED (RFC
- 5258), LIST-STATUS (RFC 5819) and UIDPLUS (RFC 4315), in addition to which
- LITERAL+ (RFC 2088) and MULTIAPPEND (RFC 3502) are recommended for performance
- reasons.
+ imapsync 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].
.
- Furthermore if both servers support the NOTIFY capability (RFC 5465), it is
- possible to keep the connection alive and be notified of new updates as soon
- as they arrive.
+ Furthermore, while imapsync can work with servers lacking support for LITERAL+
+ [RFC2088] and MULTIAPPEND [RFC3502], these extensions greatly improve
+ performance by reducing the number of required round trips hence are
+ recommended.
