IMAP client backup applications
My department is being forced by the university administrative IT unit to MS Office365 distributed server (cloud) email service, as I have communicated in a previous query. We are now being advised by others who have been forced to do this -- but of course not by IT -- to backup all of our email. I use Mozilla Thunderbird, incoming IMAP, outgoing to a designated SMTP server. I have found http://www.beyondinbox.com/beyondinbox-download.html licensed for fee that claims to function under Linux, MacOS X, and MS Windows for this purpose. There are concerns to find a viable licensed-for-free product that will copy IMAP folders and all of the contents thereof to a local harddrive directory/file structure and that can restore these same IMAP folders and the contents thereof back to a remote IMAP service -- thus guarding against loss -- up to the last backup snapshot -- of all email. Has anyone any experience with the above application? is there a licensed for free reliable, viable alternative, GUI preferred, for Linux? Yasha Karant
Re: IMAP client backup applications
You're on Linux. yum install fetchmail; man fetchmail should get you pretty far. Any IMAP system that can handle multiple accounts should then allow you to move messages back, and forth, to multiple accounts: this was built into Thunderbird, as I remember from some years back.

--exclude='{wine-*,wine-1.7.24}' /home/CDs/Linux /mnt/MyCDs/. I am not real certain that the {} thingy works correctly. Anyway, I only needed 'wine-*' -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~
