Description
Hi everyone.
I've been using imapsync to move a few accounts off an aging server to a more modern one. Works fantastic, BTW.
My question is this... One user had their GMail account syncing into the old server via IMAP. We don't want to sync this folder to the new server, but I also don't want to just delete it without verifying the messages are either still on the GMail server or are meant to be deleted. My plan was/is to run a search for messages that exist on both servers, and delete the copy on the local old server... But I don't want to actually sync anything.
Is this possible with imapsync? I see the --dry option, but I'm assuming this also prevents the delete duplicates option from running too... Am I correct in thinking that?
