Please can you reply to list rather than directly do me?
I just know of the tool and not how to use it. It doesn't look like it supports continually running it in the background, but you can always put it in a loop in a shell script, perhaps with a delay between iterations. If you use cron, you have to be careful that it is not already running when it gets fires again.

Can doveadm-sync be configured to keep running on the background? Can't seem to find anything related to this...

How about doveadm-sync (https://doc.dovecot.org/main/core/man/doveadm-sync.1.html) or imapsync? On 02/09/2025 19:26, Carlos Mogas da Silva via dovecot wrote: Hi list.

What I want to know, is how can I use my mail server, or in this case, dovecot, to act as a "client" to that imap server and download all the messages from it storing them locally (in my server) in effect, bypassing the quota restriction. If you can point me to some documentation or give a general idea on how I could accomplish this it would be nice. Thanks in advance!
