NAME

imapcopy, imapmove - copy or move messages from an IMAP inbox to a local mailbox

SYNTAX

imapcopy [-debug] [-verbose] host [mailbox]

imapmove [-debug] [-verbose] host [mailbox]

DESCRIPTION

imapcopy and imapmove establish an IMAP connection with the named host and transfer messages from the IMAP INBOX on that host to the named destination mailbox . If the mailbox is not specified, the default is the local INBOX.

imapmove removes (deletes and expunges) the messages the messages from the IMAP INBOX on host after transferring them to the destination mailbox .

imapcopy and imapmove require that the destination mailbox exist; otherwise they will print an error message and exit without transferring any messages.

The -debug flag prints full debugging telemetry including protocol operations. The -verbose flag prints verbose (non-error) telemetry.

The mailbox name argument is a standard c-client mailbox name. A variety of mailbox name formats and types of mailboxes are supported by c-client; examples of the most common forms of names are:

Name
Meaning
INBOX
primary incoming mail folder on the local system
archive/tx-project
mail folder named "tx-project" in "archive" subdirectory of local filesystem home directory
{imapserver.foo.com}archive/tx-project
mail folder named "tx-project" in "archive" subdirectory on IMAP server system "imapserver.foo.com"

See your system manager for more information about the types of mailboxes which are available on your system.

RESTRICTIONS

You must surround a {host}mailbox form mailbox name with quotation marks if you run imapcopy from csh(1) or another shell for which braces have special meaning.
