Hi, folks!
After many years running my own mail server, I'm going to retire it and
switch to a commercial provider, probably Fastmail. But I'd like to
maintain a reasonably fresh backup of the mail so that if the provider
goes out of business I can start Courier up again. Your mbsync tool
seems ideal for that.
Just to double check, I wrote a maildir diff program in Python. So far
my tests seem good, with one exception. I have a bunch of mail from
circa 2005 sent from a Palm Treo that just doesn't get copied by mbsync.
To be fair, they are a bit pathological. Here's an example of the
contents of the maildir file on the server:
MAIL FROM: <william@REDACTED>
To: "Flickr Upload" <redac...@photos.flickr.com>;
Subject: Fed by More Than One Source of Energy
From: <william@REDACTED>
Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 12:16:00 -0700
X-Sender: william@REDACTED
X-Sender: william@REDACTED
Note that there's a blank line at the top, the headers, and then a blank
body. (When they were sent they had a photo attachment, but I'm guessing
that never got saved by the mail client.) That's a pretty terrible
message, but Thunderbird still renders it correctly.
I'm guessing these are related to mbsync output lines like this:
C: 1/3 B: 91/140 M: +0/0 *0/0 #0/0 S: +308369/512525 *0/0 #0/0
Warning: message 2922 from master has incomplete header.
Is there a way to get mbsync to save these anyhow?
Thanks,
William
