download Dovecot emails over rsync (done!), possible alternatives

[Carles Pina i Estany]

Hi,

Actually for the injecting the downloaded email into the ship's system:

I could use Python+IMAP to create the folder in the ship's server,
subscribe and then perhaps using lmtp protocol inject the new email
(maybe with Python+lmtpd as well)

This way on the ship's server I wouldn't need to change Dovecot
directories.

On the internet server perhaps I could have a IMAP client that would
extract the email using IMAP and leaving it into a file: this way I
would avoid touching Dovecot's file system and assuming the structure of
dovecot-uidlist and how the files are saved.

That would be nicer than the last time...

Any other ideas: I'm happy to listen.

Also, if anyone wants to talk about this next week in FOSDEM I'll be
there. I see that past years there was someone from this mailing list
