ImapSync VS lieer

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.

I fear this for my gmail. I now use mbsync (lieer[0]) to have my emails synced locally on my homeserver, and then browse it with notmuch[1]. It's an incredibly freeing experience to have all your email on your own machine.

The hardest part of setting up email in Emacs for me personally was figuring out the transport. I still use Gmail, and I'm not proud of that. For many years, I've been thinking about moving my mail somewhere else, but that task is somewhere at the deepest, darkest bottom of my list of priorities. The best mail sync utility that finally worked for me is gmaileer. It works nicely with both - notmuch and mu4e.

I'm interested in notmuch and lieer https://github.com/gauteh/lieer to sync gmail labels with local tags. I'm coming from thunderbird and I really want to move to a maildir setup for backup/archival/easy to manage purposes, away from monolithic mbox files, and have some solution for not duplicating tons of data in IMAP folders for the different gmail labels.

I use the lieer package, gmi pull, to incrementally pull in new gmail. There's an option to never delete things even if they're deleted on gmail, so it's a great way to keep my mail archive local and prune my gmail to keep it from getting too big.

In my experience mbsync is best if using IMAP as it works well with very large IMAP folders. If you happen to be on Gmail and Notmuch then Gmailieer is worth checking out as it provides full two-way label/tag sync between the two.

Put everything into a single notmuchmail database. It wil deduplicate the emails and even provide a fast local search interface for all of your mails https://notmuchmail.org/

For gmail you can use lieer to pull everything https://github.com/gauteh/lieer (tho it can take hours to pull ewerything). Fastmail has a similar tool https://github.com/elizagamedev/mujmap

If you unpack tour mbox into maildir then you can import that too into notmuch

After everything is in notmuch you can easily push everything to fastmail with isync/mbsync https://isync.sourceforge.io/

As a bonus point you now also have a easily updatable local backup of your e-mails.

As long as lieer (a.k.a. gmailieer) works, I don't have a problem at all. It's much faster than mbsync. And it should work with both notmuch (which I use) and mu4e.

I have just released a tool to synchronize notmuch mail with a JMAP server. It's very similar to lieer, which is a tool that does essentially the same but for GMail. JMAP mailboxes behave very similarly to GMail labels, meaning that each tag that doesn't get mapped to a special keyword (e.g. $seen, $draft, etc) is mapped to its own "label".

Is there some integration Logseq with lieer ( ex gmaileer ) or Gmail web interface or maybe another email client?
