I set up mbsync on a Linux system. The Maildir store would be synced to Windows. However, Windows doesn’t like colons in file names. So I tried enabling *alternative scheme*, hoping that this would lead to simpler file names.
However, file names still contain colons: $ ls -1 sync_test/INBOX/cur/ | head -3 1398199972.1938_1.linux:2,S 1398199972.1938_2.linux:2,S 1398199972.1938_3.linux:2,S *Can I tell `mbsync` not to use colons in file names?* My `.mbsyncrc` for creating a backup of one of my Gmail accounts: IMAPAccount gmail Host imap.gmail.com User fe...@f76.eu PassCmd "/bin/cat /secret/gmail_password" UseIMAPS yes CertificateFile ~/.mbsync/Equifax_Secure_Certificate_Authority.pem IMAPStore gmail-imap Account gmail MaildirStore gmail-local Path "~/sync_test" Inbox "~/sync_test/INBOX" AltMap yes Channel gmail Master ":gmail-imap:[Gmail]/All Mail" Slave :gmail-local:INBOX Create Slave Expunge Slave Sync Pull ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ isync-devel mailing list isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
