sync to many subfolder #419

Genialsrl · 2023-10-27T10:53:01Z

hello I have a problem with imapsync
imapsync 2.261

Let's start from the first

Origin e destination server are smartermail

xxx.xxx.tldt;archivio@xxx.it;xxxxxx;192.168.1.19;copielocali@local.xxx.it;yyyyy; --useheader Message-Id --noabletosearch --addheader --delete2 --delete2folders --regextrans2 "s,INBOX,Inbox," --subfolder2 archivio

In practice it takes the content present in archivio@xxx.it and synchronizes it on a local smartermail copielocali@local.xxx.it in an archive subfolder

The problem I notice is that on the first passage of a new message the labels are not synchronized. Only in the second step are the labels also synchronized.

If I add

--syncflagsaftercopy --nofilterflags -synclabels

on the origin server all unread messages are marked as read (and this is really strange)

second problem

xxx.xxx.tldt;archivio@xxx.it;xxxxxx;192.168.1.19;copielocali@local.xxx.it;yyyyy; --useheader Message-Id --noabletosearch --addheader --delete2 --delete2folders --regextrans2 "s,INBOX,Inbox," --subfolder2 archivio

ixxx.xxx.tldt;archivio2@xxx.it;xxxxxx;192.168.1.19;copielocali@local.xxx.it;yyyyy; --useheader Message-Id --noabletosearch --addheader --delete2 --delete2folders --regextrans2 "s,INBOX,Inbox," --subfolder2 archivio2

In this case I would like archivio@xxx.it to synchronize in the archive subfolder of copielocali@local.xxx.it

is that
archivio2@xxx.it synchronize in the archivio2 subfolder of copielocali@local.xxx.it

But when archive2 is processed the archive subfolder in copielocali@local.xxx.it is deleted due to --deletefolder2

Not the behavior I expected. Having specified a destination subfolder I expected delete2 and deletefolder2 to occur only there

is there any flag to solve the problem?

Thank you

A piece of advice: if you have several issues, open several tickets, or email several emails, and you'll get quicker answers.

Origin and destination servers are smartermail

Ok

The problem I notice is that on the first passage of a new message, the labels are not synchronized. Only in the second step are the labels also synchronized.

It's strange.

If I add
--syncflagsaftercopy --nofilterflags -synclabels
on the origin server all unread messages are marked as read (and this is really strange)

Yes, it's really strange since Imapsync doesn't change flags on the source server, by setting Peek(1) on both imap connexions.
https://metacpan.org/pod/Mail::IMAPClient#Peek
--synclabels is useless here, only Gmail does labels.

A --debugflags can help here to understand the issue. Do it on a small folder "small_one" with --folder "small_one"

... --delete2 --delete2folders --subfolder2 archivio

But when archive2 is processed the archive subfolder is deleted due to --deletefolder2
Not the behavior I expected. Having specified a destination subfolder I expected delete2 and deletefolder2 to occur only there

is there any flag to solve the problem?

Use --delete2foldersonly archivio

But since "archivio" is a substring of "archivio2" it should apply the destruction on the archivio2 hierarchy...
Solution? Yes. Have distinguished archive names like archivio1 and archivio2 and use --delete2foldersonly archivio1

https://imapsync.lamiral.info/README

...
  OPTIONS/deletions
...
     --delete2folders    : Delete folders in host2 that are not in host1.
                           For safety, first try it like this, it is safe:
                           --delete2folders --dry --justfolders --nofoldersizes
                           and see what folders will be deleted.

     --delete2foldersonly   reg : Delete only folders matching the regex reg.
                                  Example: --delete2foldersonly "/^Junk$|^INBOX.Junk$/"
                                  This option activates --delete2folders

     --delete2foldersbutnot reg : Do not delete folders matching the regex rex.
                                  Example: --delete2foldersbutnot "/Tasks$|Contacts$|Foo$/"
                                  This option activates --delete2folders

Genialsrl · 2023-10-30T09:30:58Z

I tried with this syntax

xxx.xxx.tld;archivio@xxx.it;xxxx;192.168.1.19;copielocali@local.xxx.it;xxxx; --useheader Message-Id --noabletosearch --addheader --subfolder2 archivio1 --delete2foldersonly archivio1
xxx.xxx.tld;archivio2@xxx.it;xxxx;192.168.1.19;copielocali@local.xxx.it;xxxx; --useheader Message-Id --noabletosearch --addheader --subfolder2 archivio2 --delete2foldersonly archivio2

But it keeps deleting archivio1 when it processes the second account

here is an extract of the log of the second account

But it keeps deleting archivio1 when it processes the second account

It's strange. Can you show me the log of this archivio1 deletion?
Add --justfolders to keep it small.

Ok, there is a problem here.
I investigate

Genialsrl · 2023-11-08T11:53:02Z

Are there any news?

gilleslamiral · 2023-11-08T16:43:32Z

Yes. Use slashes around the name:

imapsync ... --subfolder2 archivio1 --delete2foldersonly /archivio1/

I fixed
https://imapsync.lamiral.info/FAQ.d/FAQ.Archiving.txt

=======================================================================
Q. How can I archive different accounts on the same destination account,
   each account on a separate folder?

R. Use --subfolder2 

 --subfolder2   str  : Syncs the whole host1 folders hierarchy under the
                       host2 given folder str.
                       (It does it internally by adding two --regextrans2 
                       options before all others.)

Examples:

To backup the account Foo in a subfolder called FooArchiv:

  imapsync ... --user1 Foo --subfolder2 FooArchiv

To backup the account Bar in a subfolder called BarArchiv:

  imapsync ... --user1 Bar --subfolder2 BarArchiv

In case you need a very strict sync, add options 
--delete2 --delete2foldersonly "/FooArchiv/"
or "/BarArchiv/" for the second example.
Slashes around the name are mandatory.
It will delete on account2 what is not on account1 but only in the right place, 
ie, the subfolder "FooArchiv".

 Technically, the value of option --delete2foldersonly is a regex, it's 
 why the slashes are mandatory.
 
  --delete2foldersonly "/FooArchiv/" 
  is equivalent to
  --delete2foldersonly "m{FooArchiv}"


Examples:
