Sync all mails into one folder on new server using imapsync

imapimapsync

Is there a way to sync every mail from the old server into one single folder on the new server using imapsync? I can't find something relevant in the manual…

Thanks in advance!

The FAQ http://imapsync.lamiral.info/FAQ says:

Q. Is it possible to synchronize all messages from one server to another without recreating the folder structure and the target server.

R. Yes.

For example, to synchronize all messages in all forders on host1 to folder INBOX only on host2:

1) First try (safe mode):

    imapsync \
    ...
    --regextrans2 "s/(.*)/INBOX/" \
    --dry --justfolders

2) See if the output says everything you want imapsync to do, --dry option is safe and does nothing real.

3) Remove --dry Check the imap folder tree on the target side, you should only have one: the classical INBOX.

4) Remove --justfolders
