* movemail ** Synchronization mode. Setting synchronization mode allows the user to keep messages in remote source mailbox, while downloading only recently received messages. The mode is defined via the "--sync" command line option or "sync" configuration statement. Allowed values are: uidnext Use the combination of uidvalidity/uidnext values. This is useful mainly if the source mailbox is accessed via IMAP4 protocol. When using this method, movemail stores session metadata in files in the directory ~/.movemail.sync. The directory location can be changed using the "--sync-dir" option or "sync-dir" configuration statement. uidl Use UIDL values. Useful if the source mailbox is accessed via the POP3 protocol. all Download each message. Provided for completness sake. This is the default behavior when no --sync option was supplied. ** The --reverse option removed The option made little sense for movemail and was never used. ** The --max-messages option This options sets the maximum number of latest messages to process. * New Sieve test: uidnew The "uidnew" test keeps track of the processed messages. It evaluates to true if the current message was not processed before. The test is implemented as an external module. To require it, use require "test-uidnew"; Sample use if uidnew { fileinto "store"; keep; } For each processed mailbox, the test keeps its state in a GDBM file ~/.uidnew.db. The ":db" tagged argument can be used to alter this location. * Bugfixes ** imap4d UID SEARCH command The UID SEARCH command incorrectly treated message range argument as UIDs instead of as message sequence numbers.
