====== Copy/move/synch IMAP account ======

===== Debian packages =====



  * **isync** - IMAP and MailDir mailbox synchronizer
  * **mailsync** - Synchronize IMAP mailboxes.  Mailsync is a way of keeping a collection of mailboxes synchronized. The mailboxes may be on the local filesystem or on an IMAP server.
  * **offlineimap** -  IMAP/Maildir synchronization and reader support
    * Synchronize your mail using a completely safe and fault-tolerant algorithm.
  * **syncmaildir** -  Sync Mail Dir is a set of utilities to synchronize a pair of mailboxes
 in Maildir format, using SSH to transfer data. It provides the smd-pull
 utility to pull changes made on the remote mailbox, smd-push to propagate
 local changes to the remote mailbox, and smd-loop to iterate push and pull
 in a timely way. **Unlike OfflineIMAP, it does not require an IMAP server to be installed on the remote host**

  * **vdirsyncer** - Vdirsyncer synchronizes your calendars and addressbooks between two storages.
