===== Usage =====

<code bash>./imapsync --host1 test1.lamiral.info   --user1 test1   --password1 'secret1' \
           --host2 test2.lamiral.info   --user2 test2   --password2 'secret2' \
           --automap --justfolders --dry "$@"
</code>

=== GMail ===

[[https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps|Enable access from less secure apps!]]

<code bash>./imapsync --host1 imap.gmail.com --ssl1 --user1 account1@gmail.com --password1 gmailsecret1 \
           --host2 imap.gmail.com --ssl2 --user2 account2@gmail.com --password2 gmailsecret2 \
           --maxbytespersecond 250000 --automap --exclude "\[Gmail\]$"</code>

''--maxbytespersecond'' is useful because GMail limits IMAP transfer size to 1GB/h.

^ --host2 | IMAP destination server hostname or IP address |
