I see: Sync {None|[Pull] [Push] [New] [ReNew] [Delete] [Flags]|All} But no way to turn OFF the "Delete". Is it the "Expunge" flag? Or Remove {None|Master|Slave|Both}. so I would set that "Remove Master"? > > i would recommend moving (== copy + delete source) the archive on the > slave to a separate folder (which is simply not synced), and then just > letting mbsync propagate the deletions of the obsolete mails to the > master. > OK, let me make sure I understand. You are suggesting to not use the method SSH into server and use "rm -f" in Inbox/cur but to move the existing local archive to a new local folder and just keep it there for reference (no further syncing.) Then create a new slave (empty) and use mbsync to Sync, using "Sync All" (the default) to propagate the changes (thus the huge deletion on server?) Or use the SSH + "rm -f" and then just move local storage and create new empty slave and sync "normally" from that point on? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ isync-devel mailing list isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
