Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2015-5d1f935811 2015-11-30 18:50:49.237023
Name : imapsync Product : Fedora 23 Version : 1.644 Release : 2.fc23 URL : https://pagure.io/imapsync Summary : Tool to migrate email between IMAP serversDescription : imapsync is a tool for facilitating incremental recursive IMAP transfers from one mailbox to another. It is useful for mailbox migration, and reduces the amount of data transferred by only copying messages that are not present on both servers. Read, unread, and deleted flags are preserved, and the process can be stopped and resumed. The original messages can optionally be deleted after a successful transfer.

Update Instructions

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update imapsync' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at .
