Hello there,
I'm trying to use mbsync in order to backup my mail accounts, but I'm
facing strange behavior (or misconfiguration).
My goal is to get the following:
~/Mails/
`- Account1
| `- Subfolders
`- Account2
`- subfolders
...
I'm currently using the following configuration (only one account for
the moment):
-----8<--------SNiP--------8<-----
MaildirStore f-u-local
Path ~/Mails/Account1/.
Inbox ~/Mails/Account1/
Flatten .
IMAPStore f-u-remote
Host imap.provider.org
User cycyx
Pass ********
UseIMAPS yes
CertificateFile ~/conf/certs/imap.provider.org.pem
Channel Account1
Master :f-u-remote:
Slave :f-u-local:
Patterns * !*Projets* !*Listes* !*Admin !*Queue !*Junk
Create Both
SyncState *
CopyArrivalDate yes
-----8<--------SNiP--------8<-----
First issue:
If I "mkdir ~/Mails/Account1/", mbsync complains about "no valid
mailbox". If I "maildirmake ~Mails/Account1/" it's OK, but my "cur"
directory is empty (I have 28 mails in my INBOX on the server).
I can't seem to sync my INBOX. I don't even know where mbsync is trying
to sync it... (plus I have an .mbsyncstate in every subfolder)
Second issue:
On my server (the IMAP server is dovecot), my folder hierarchy is as
follow
.Amazon
.Divers
.Misc
...
On my local machine, mbsync creates:
.INBOX.Amazon
.INBOX.Divers
.INBOX.Misc
...
How can I get rid of the ".INBOX" part (if possible)?
Last, I just took a look at the file mbsynrc.sample from the sources and
don't understand how it works.
"You" create a store for all your mails (what I'm looking for), just by
specifying a Path.
Then, in each Channel, "you" specify ":local:work" or ":local:personal".
How does mbsync handle this and what is created in your ~/Mail/ folder?
A subfolder for each account?
When I tested it (with Path ~/Mails/ and Slave :f-u-local:Account1),
mbsync created .INBOX.Amazon (and the others) inside ~/Mails/, not
~/Mails/Account1/.
Can you explain me the magic behind this?
Regards,
