Only messages with a message ID are included in the synchronization.
Messages lacking a message ID are simply ignored, which means they
are not transmitted or deleted. A missing message ID is usually caused by
faulty programs when sending or writing a message.
On certain IMAP servers, the main folder is addressed with INBOX and
subfolders are addressed with a randomly selected name (in contrast to IN-
BOX and INBOX.name). Therefore, for such IMAP servers, it is not possible
to specify a pattern exclusively for the subfolders.
After the successful transmission of messages to an IMAP server, the mail-
box drivers (c-client) used by mailsync set a special status flag. For this
reason, some e-mail programs, like mutt, are not able to recognize these
messages as new. Disable the setting of this special status flag with the op-
tion -n.
23.7.3 For More Information
The README in /usr/share/doc/packages/mailsync/, which is in-
cluded in mailsync, provides additional information. In this connection,
RFC 2076 “Common Internet Message Headers” is of special interest.
