smd-translate1

Usage

Overview

smd-translate translates mailbox names according to predefined patterns. It is designed to be used in the configuration file of smd-push(1) and smd-pull(1).

Refer to smd-config(5) for a longer discussion on translators.

Supported modes follow.

oimap-dovecot

This mode is designed to make the transition of offlineimap users to smd simpler. It assumes remote mailboxes are named like in the following:

    Maildir/cur
    Maildir/.sub.folder/new

The corresponding local mailboxes are named like in the following:

    Mail/cur
    Mail/sub.folder/new

nodots

This mode simply gets rid of all dots. It assumes remote mailboxes are named like in the following:

    Maildir/cur
    Maildir/.sub.folder/new

The corresponding local mailboxes are named like in the following:

    Mail/cur
    Mail/sub/folder/new

move

This mode just replaces the root of the mailbox, i.e. substitutes MAILBOX_LOCAL for MAILBOX_REMOTE and viceversa.

Usage in configuration file

Assuming the MAILBOX_LOCAL configuration variable is set to Mail and the MAILBOX_REMOTE is set to Maildir, one can use the following configuration file snippet in ~/.smd/config.endpoint:

    TRANSLATOR_RL="smd-translate -m oimap-dovecot -d RL endpoint"
    TRANSLATOR_LR="smd-translate -m oimap-dovecot -d LR endpoint"

To test your setup use the smd-check-conf(1) utility.

Options

-m mode

One of the supported modes listed above
