NAME

vmt-sync - Sync local maildir to remote IMAP account

SYNOPSIS

vmt sync [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

vmt-sync is an IMAP-to-maildir synchronization tool. At the moment, it has to be run periodically to keep the two synchronized.

By default, it will merge local and remote changes (unless they are in conflict) and apply both to the respective other side. The `--push` or `--pull` arguments can be used to force vsync to completely overwrite the remote or the local side respectively, regardless of conflicts.

OPTIONS

--exclude EXCLUDE

Exclude all mailboxes matching EXCLUDE. Can be used multiple times. Supports * and ? as wildcard characters. The pattern must match the IMAP mailbox name (e.g. folder.mailbox). If a mailbox name matches both exclude and include, exclude takes precendence.

-h, --help

Print help information

--include INCLUDE

Include only mailboxes matching INCLUDE. Can be used multiple times. Supports * and ? as wildcard characters. The pattern must match the IMAP mailbox name (e.g. folder.mailbox). If a mailbox name matches both exclude and include, exclude takes precendence.

--list

List local and remote mailboxes and which actions would be performed on them, then exit.

--pull

Force remote state to local maildir, discarding local changes

--push

Force local state to remote IMAP mailbox, discarding remote changes

-t, --threads THREADS

Number of threads (and IMAP sessions) to use [default: 3]

--unsafe-tls

Accept untrusted (e.g. self-signed) TLS certificates
