imap-forward
A simple tool that copies/moves messages from one IMAP mailbox (folder) to another.
It supports copying the messages as a one-time operation, or as a daemon (using IDLE for low-latency syncing).
Usage
To copy messages from inbox [email protected] to [email protected] once:
imap-forward -upstream-url example.com:993 -upstream-username [email protected] -upstream-password himom -downstream-url other.example.com:993 -downstream-username [email protected] -downstream-password hidad
To continuously move/forward messages from inbox [email protected] to [email protected]:
imap-forward -upstream-url example.com:993 -upstream-username [email protected] -upstream-password himom -downstream-url other.example.com:993 -downstream-username [email protected] -downstream-password hidad -move -sync

speedup sync
I'm need to keep in sync two imap folders and i see that imap-forward after start try one by one message sync, and its very slow. imap-sync can gave much more speed, does it possible to speedup sync process?
Default to "copy" instead of "move" behaviour
I'm concerned about the default behaviour of this software: if the users aren't familiar with the CLI options, they might forget to put the "-copy" argument and accidentally delete all their messages from the source account.
