File Synchronization
By default, no files are deleted while synchronizing with rsync. If this
should be forced, the additional option --delete must be stated.
To ensure that no newer files are deleted, the option --update can be used
instead. Any conflicts that arise must be resolved manually.
23.6.2 For More Information
Important information about rsync is provided in the man pages
man rsync and man rsyncd.conf.
A technical reference about the operating principles of rsync is featured in
/usr/share/doc/packages/rsync/tech_report.ps.
Find latest news about rsync on the project web site of the project at http:

23.7 Introduction to mailsync
mailsync is mainly suitable for the following three tasks:
Synchronization of locally stored e-mails with mails stored on a
server
Migration of mailboxes to a different format or to a different server
Integrity check of a mailbox or search for duplicates
23.7.1 Configuration and Use
mailsync distinguishes between the mailbox itself (the store) and the con-
nection between two mailboxes (the channel). The definitions of the stores
and channels are stored in ~/.mailsync. The following paragraphs ex-
plain a number of store examples.
A simple definition might appear as follows:
store saved-messages {
pat Mail/saved-messages
prefix Mail/
}
