Many thanks Wqmi! Well, I've read the dsync documentation, but this warning has me a little worried:
"Make sure destination is exactly as source, deleting/reverting any changes in destination if necessary"
So I followed the Imapsync way, and all works fine.
I seem to have understood thatImapsync works as a traditional client,for this reason also much easier to use and with less mistakes risk. And anyway a software done very well ;-)

Well, clear, many thanks x9p!
Many thanks to all!

This is when you use the 'backup' option. Dsync then makes 1:1 copy of the source. If you use 'sync -1' option, it does not delete mails/folders from destination.

Sure if you are fine with the imapsync limitations.

Ah, ok, for the next sync I will try Dsync!
Many thanks again!
