Re: [MlMt] Moving complete folder tree from one IMAP server to another
Fritz Slater wrote about imapsync: Thank you for the recommendation. I did get it to work. It ran quite slowly, but I suspect I was being throttled by Gmail. When I last moved my own email from a small but well-run ISP, I did see 3.8MB/sec from them, but Fastmail topped out at just 872KB/sec (but didn't stay there). This was done from where I work, and have an OC-3 (about 18MB/sec) connection on Level 3's network (one of Fastmail's peers). I'd guess that Fastmail, more so Google mail, are fairly heavily loaded. I did have a problem with a memory leak. So I had to kill it and restart it a couple of times. It's been a while since I last used it, but I haven't had any any trouble with the precompiled Darwin version.

Re: [MlMt] Moving complete folder tree from one IMAP server to another
Thank you for the recommendation. I did get it to work. It ran quite slowly, but I suspect I was being throttled by Gmail. I did have a problem with a memory leak. So I had to kill it and restart it a couple of times. I was moving a 2GB mail account and it grew to over 25GB with less than 20% done. I found a recommendation to use the “-useuid” option which made it grow much more slowly (I still suspect a memory leak - just a much smaller one). I do agree it is a very powerful tool.
