I used the exact line below... nice -n 20 imapsync --ssl1 --noauthmd5 --host1 mail.athabascau.ca \ --user1 trenta --passfile1 ~/passwd.trenta --host2 localhost \ --user2 trenta --passfile2 ~/passwd.local --syncinternaldates \ --subscribed --subscribe --buffersize 65535 \ # --delete \ --minage 60 Why would it delete the source emails with that command line? I thought it was only supposed to delete when I ask it to. I thought I should post this here first. I know that gentoo has changes to imapsync, at least in past builds. Thanks.
Which version?
DUH, LOL. net-mail/imapsync-1.182

If you look at the imapsync-1.182.ebuild file, you'll notice that the only change Gentoo introduces to this software is a small patch for Makefile to honor $DESTDIR variable, so the thing installs into sandbox image correctly.
Okay, thank you. I will file a bug report with the imapsync author.
Closing as upstream. BTW, I just added 1.217 in the tree, which doesn't modify the software in any way.
