Hi,

I was wondering whether people who've attemtped to use or who are using imapsync to backup public folders on pre-v11 systems could share their experiences. Specifically I'm after tips concerning the syncing itself rather than installing a secondary imap server etc.

So far I've met with limited success, for example:

• Contacts created from SWA are syncing both ways properly, but
• Contacts I imported into the test system via pst & synced to dovecot don't sync back to Scalix correctly, with imapsync reporting a large number of bytes not transferred & the restored contacts merely showing as empty entries in OL.

These are the stats for the failed sync in question:

Code: Select all

Time                   : 5574 sec
Messages transferred   : 3479
Messages skipped       : 134
Total bytes transferred: 1828857
Total bytes skipped    : 7182469
Total bytes error      : 0
Detected 0 errors

Thanks!
