I was attracted to the idea of dovecot sync for the same reasons. But in practice I found that the linkage between dovecot internals and dovecot sync was confusing and the documentation was difficult to follow. In fairness, I should say I only experimented with dovecot and never made it my daily driver. A savvy dovecot person might see it differently. > Do you have any further details? I got as far as syncing between Gmail and a local Dovecot service and watching it work. I was surprised when it was slower than mbsync. The logging/debugging also seemed less informative. At about the same time I decided to use ~/Maildir with git backup as my primary mail archive, so I didn't investigate it further. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
