Hi, getmail is working properly. I want to ask, if I am able to manulay change time from 5 minutes to 2 minutes. I used it only for 3 mail adresses, so I think 2 minutes are enought to complete previous task.

Thanks

If you have already configured an email address:

db getmail setprop email@domain.net Time 2

For additional options see the documentation. Note this change wont be reflected in the UI.

Hi,
can I use getmail for copying an entire mailbox?
I tried using imap, but it copies only the INBOX folder and all messages are unread.
I thought of using it for backup instead of IMAPCopy or OfflineIMAP.

Itā€™s possible?

Thanks
Enzo

Ehi Enzo, didnā€™t try that. Maybe @clinton @miko10 @dnutan @kuhn_michael @EddieA have an answer for you

Hello Rosi,
yes, I know imapsync, but I thought that maybe GetMail could do a better job.

Ciao

Hi @Enzo,
What is your situation and what you want to do? Iā€™m using imapsync and it synchronize all folders except Junk. But in some cases I have to use --addheader option.

As well as I wrote time ago:

As a result of my slow ADSL offsite full backup are impossible, so I have two email servers.
The real one, and another one, only for backup purpose, in a different location.
The first one performs nightly backups on a USB drive, while the second one every night with OfflineIMAP synchronizes email with the main one, and then it makes a backup to a USB drive.

GetMail perhaps does a better job than OfflineIMAP.
