rgrove / larch

I just completed moving email from an IMAP account into Gmail. Unfortunately, I now have a folder in my Gmail account called INBOX/Sent Items while my Gmail's Sent Items is empty.

What is the proper syntax to move email into Gmail's Sent Mail?

I tried:
--from-folder 'INBOX.Sent Items' --to-folder 'Sent Mail'

but that created a new folder on Gmail called [Imap]/Sent Mail.

Add an option to remove email messages from the source account after they are synchronized.

Got the latest source and got bitten by:

undefined method `strip'
when passing "--exclude Trash Spam" on the commandline, without a config file.

Same as reported in:

Apparently Gmail doesn't allow whitespace before or after folder names, but many other IMAP servers do. Larch should trim folder names when Gmail is the destination in order to prevent problems.

1. Use Larch to copy a bunch of messages from server A to server B.
   
2. Delete those messages on server B.
   
3. Run Larch again. It will see that the messages have been deleted, but will not recopy them.
   
4. Run Larch again. This time it will recopy the deleted messages.

Larch should recopy the deleted messages the first time it sees that they're gone.

A user has reported that the "all" config option is not being respected in the latest Larch dev gem. See http://groups.google.com/group/larch/msg/bc80ea058a9ca123

Larch currently uses some case sensitive folder name comparisons, which can cause problems when dealing with the INBOX folder, which is defined in RFC 3501 as being case insensitive.

See http://groups.google.com/group/larch/browse_thread/thread/79b3797603654d13

Larch currently does not verify that the destination server supports all the flags/keywords being transferred from the source server before attempting to set them, which can result in failures.

A user reported on the Larch mailing list that the IMAP URI imaps://mail.example.no results in an invalid URI error, whereas imaps://mail.example.com works fine. Ruby's URI lib appears to be trying (and failing) to validate actual domain names.

I 'am trying to synchronize my personnal IMAP (Dovecot) with my gmail account. The gmail locals are set to french, so Sent Mail folder is written in french with an accent. The problem is i connot use --to-folder option with an accent

Log messages:

creating mailbox: [Gmail]/Messages envoyés  (this is the french name of Sent Mail folder)
Net::IMAP::BadResponseError: Invalid Command (will retry)

Looks like it tries to create a folder which should already exist on gmail...

Any clue? I've set my gmail account to english and used the "Sent Mail" name instead, but i really would like to find a better solution.

When copying messages that have the \Recent flag set on the source server, Larch tries to set the flag on the destination server as well. However, the IMAP spec prohibits clients from setting this flag. It seems many IMAP servers ignore this, but some (including Zimbra) return an error.

The BlitzMail IMAP server implementation reportedly fails to adhere to the IMAP standard when sending ENVELOPE responses. It fails to quote or properly escape strings in some cases, which can cause Net::IMAP's response parser to hang.

Excerpt from a user email to the Larch mailing list:

"I found that I couldn't transfer the entire tree in go (--all), as larch choked on one particular folder:

From-server IMAP extract (insane logging):

S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS IDLE LOGIN-REFERRALS NAMESPACE QUOTA
CHILDREN AUTH=DIGEST-MD5
S: * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" work/foo
S: * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" work/foo/bar
S: * LSUB (\HasChildren) "/" work/foo
S: * LSUB (\HasNoChildren) "/" work/foo/bar

Gmail IMAP extract:

S: * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "work/foo"
S: * LSUB (\HasNoChildren) "/" "work/foo"

Gave this:

[Jun 15 19:40:37] [fatal] mailbox not found: work/foo/bar

I worked around the problem by pulling one folder at a time, which
worked fine, including for the folder which it had originaly choked
on."

When copying a single folder, all child folders should also be copied.

Should work just like --all, but only copy subscribed folders.

Need to add an --exclude option to specify folder names (or regexes?) to exclude when using --all or --all-subscribed.

Should also add an --exclude-file option to allow exclusions to be specified in a text file.

When the --all option is specified for a copy operation, Larch should recursively sync all folders.
