Three questions: 1. Duplicate folders on Exchange server.
I am using davmail to sync with an Exchange server. For some reason, there are two "Sent" folders on the server: $ mbsync -c ~/.mbsyncrc -l uni Reading configuration file /home/rob/.mbsyncrc Channel uni Opening master uni-remote... Resolving localhost... ok Connecting to localhost (127.0.0.1:1143)... Opening slave uni-local... IMAP warning: SSL support not available Logging in... *** IMAP Warning *** Password is being sent in the clear Sent INBOX Sent When I use the command `mbsync -c ~/.mbsyncrc uni`, is there a way to tell mbsync to only sync with "Sent" once, not twice? 2. Plain text passwords. A nice feature of offlineimap is that the user can encrypt a password file with GPG. When one sets in the .offlineimaprc file `pythonfile = ~/.offlineimap.py`, where I can call gpg2 to present me with a password box. Is there an encryption feature in mbsync, rather than having in plain text `Pass foo` in my .mbsyncrc file? 3. Speeding up IMAP. See section 4.1.5 in the offlineimap documentation, page 14 https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/offlineimap/latest/offlineimap.pdf . Offlineimap has a "quick sync" feature (though I've never got it to work). It says: "A regular sync will request all flags and all UIDs of all mails in each folder which takes quite some time. A ‘quick’ sync only compares the number of messages in a folder on the IMAP side (it will detect flag changes on the Maildir side of things though). I have ~30,000 emails in my INBOX. A synchronisation with mbsync takes about 70 seconds. A (full) synchronisation with offlineimap takes about 120 seconds. I do not fully understand the mbsync syncing mechanism, though I understand that all UUID's are requested, and compared with my local Maildir. Is there a lightweight "quick sync" feature in mbsync, that for example compares the number of email on REMOTE and LOCAL, only downloading UUIDs if the folder content size differs? In an loosely related question. I have previously used Thunderbird via davmail, to use my remote Exchange account. I never experienced long send/receive times, i.e. a few seconds. Moreover, when I send a test file to my Exchange server, Thunderbird appeared to immediately receive it (seconds later), despite thee fact that I had configured Thunderbird to check for mail only every one minute.
