         Imapsync tips for various imap server softwares.
=======================================================================

R. Read the FAQ.Zimbra.txt 
   https://imapsync.lamiral.info/FAQ.d/FAQ.Zimbra.txt

Q. From Emailchemy (https://weirdkid.com/emailchemy/)

R. Use option  --noabletosearch :

  imapsync ... --noabletosearch

=======================================================================
Q. From or to HMailServer version 4.4.1.

R. You have to add prefix and separator manually because  4.4.1 doesn't
honor the NAMESPACE imap command.

Example for host1:

imapsync ... \
         --prefix1 "" --sep1 .

No specific option for HMailServer 5.3.3 since NAMESPACE is supported.

Maybe --subscribe_all will help you to see all migrated folders.

   Default values might be fine now with latest imapsync.

======================================================================
Q. To Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-7.05
Q. To Communigate Pro - Solaris version

R. See and run patches/imapsync_1.267_jari


======================================================================
Q. From Softalk Workgroup Mail 7.6.4 

R. Old Softalk releases don't support the IMAP SEARCH command.
   Here are the options to get it working.

imapsync ... --sep1 '.' --prefix1 '' \
             --noabletosearch1  --nocheckmessageexists --addheader

Q. From or to QQMail IMAP4Server

R. imapsync ... --noabletosearch1

======================================================================
Q. From XXX to FTGate

R. Do NOT use --usecache since new UIDs are not given by FTGate and also
   badly guessed by imapsync. UIDEXPUNGE does not work so use also
   --expunge2 when using --delete2
  
  imapsync ... \
     --sep2 / --prefix2 "" \
     --useheader Message-Id \
