imapxfer(1)

imapxfer1

Copy mailboxes between imap servers

Usage

imapxfer {source_host}prefix {destination_host}prefix

Overview

imapxfer copies entire mailboxes from the named source_host IMAP server to the named destination_host IMAP server. Mailboxes are created on the destination_host as needed. If a prefix is specified after the source_host then only mailboxes which begin with that prefix are copied. If a prefix is specified after the destination_host that prefix is pre-pended in front of the mailbox name on the destination.

The arguments are in standard c-client mailbox name format. See your system manager for more information about the types of mailboxes which are available on your system.

Restrictions

You must surround a {host}prefix argument with quotation marks if you run imapxfer from csh(1) or another shell for which braces have special meaning.
