# To use imap sync with google or microsoft aka gmail, outlook, live, or hotmail
# you may need to set an app specific password or turn off two factor authentication.

# I got my email off these services with an app specific password before they got
# too sticky but was unable to do it later, so mileage may vary.

# To use imapsync here are some examples ...

# Google To Mail Stack

.imapsync --nosyncacls --subscribe --syncinternaldates --addheader --host1 \
imap.gmail.com --user1 user1@gmail.com --password1 oldappspecificpassword --ssl1 \
--host2 mx.domain2.com -user2 user2@domain2.com -password2 mynewemailpassword --ssl2

# Hotmail To Mail Stack

imapsync --nosyncacls --subscribe --syncinternaldates --addheader --host1 \
outlook.office365.com --user1 user1@hotmail.com --password1 hotmailappspecificpassword --ssl1 \
 --host2 mx.domain2.com -user2 user2@domain2.com -password2 mynewmailpassword --ssl2

# I recently moved my email from a zimbra email service to a new one installed 
# on Debian using the tutorial from linuxbabe. This tutorial is out of date but 
# is an excellent roadmap to install and tune a mail stack from scratch.

# Zimbra To Mail Stack

imapsync --nosyncacls --subscribe --syncinternaldates --addheader --host1 \
192.168.100.1 --user1 user1@domain1.net --password1 oldemailpassword --ssl1 --host2 \
