The above example merely addresses the main folder on the IMAP server. A store for
the subfolders would appear as follows:
store imapdir {
server {mail.edu.harvard.com/user=gulliver}
ref {mail.edu.harvard.com}
pat INBOX.*
prefix INBOX.
}
If the IMAP server supports encrypted connections, the server specification should be
changed to
server {mail.edu.harvard.com/ssl/user=gulliver}
or, if the server certificate is not known, to
server {mail.edu.harvard.com/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=gulliver}
The prefix is explained later.
Now the folders under Mail/ should be connected to the subdirectories on the IMAP
server:
channel folder localdir imapdir {
msinfo .mailsync.info
}
mailsync uses the msinfo file to keep track of the messages that have already been
synchronized.
The command mailsync folder does the following:
• Expands the mailbox pattern on both sides.
• Removes the prefix from the resulting folder names.
• Synchronizes the folders in pairs (or creates them if they do not exist).
Accordingly, the folder INBOX.sent-mail on the IMAP server is synchronized
with the local folder Mail/sent-mail (provided the definitions explained above
exist). The synchronization between the individual folder is performed as follows:
• If a message already exists on both sides, nothing happens.
