bmo VS ImapSync

Mozilla is using a mix of Bugzilla, Jira, Github Issues, and $DEITY knows what else, depending on the team or project in question. A good rule of thumb is that for any major system (code hosting, bug tracking, chat, wiki, CI, etc) Mozilla has at _least_ two- one homegrown and/or OSS, another a proprietary service- and a simmering battle over which should be used.

Most of Firefox engineering was still on their fork of Bugzilla (https://github.com/mozilla-bteam/bmo) when I left back in 2021.

My only little contributions to KDE so far (until now) has been through reporting bugs (and also helping a few people here and there with their issues on forums such as this one). I wanted to figure out if something could be done to improve the bug reporting experience. When I looked at the bugzilla instance used by Mozilla at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org I was surprised by how good it looked compared to the standard bugzilla. Unfortunately, as it turned out, Mozilla is using a forked version of bugzilla (the repository is here) and hence, you can't just take the theme files from there and apply it directly on a normal bugzilla instance. I tried and it looked broken.

I've literally taken the css files from https://github.com/mozilla-bteam/bmo/tree/master/skins/standard (which is the forked version of bugzilla which Mozilla uses on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org like we discussed the other day.

You see this https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ ? It's only for mails but it's a great solution.

I've had to do large email migrations before and honestly, imapsync is the way to go - https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

Do your parents have a domain, or are they just using the provider's domain? I've set up my 1522+ to backup our mail accounts using MailPlus on the Synology, and IMAPSYC running on my lab server. But it's backup only, not archiving. That technology could be used to get to your desired state, but there's some work involved to make a secure connection from the internet to your Synology possible, sync/archive the mail, configure you parent's devices to find your device, etc.

Check out imapsync (https://imapsync.lamiral.info/) - I am using it since years and migrated tousands of mailboxes without any problems.

Check https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

I would use https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ for email and sure there is another tool for contacts and calenders.

There are two solutions for this 1. Using a tool called imap-sync to sync all your emails (it has a great incremental sync). You can run it periodically via cron 2. Using the same or similar tool and export to a database.

If you want to sync from one IMAP server directly to another, there's also the very popular imapsync: https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

Have a look at imapsync. Source: former web hosting sysadmin. Used this many times to move email.
