Hi, fgeller!

If you still need it:

I just copied the contents of my Google Apps account to the Mercury IMAP server using IMAP Sync from http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/IMAP_sync.aspx (free registration required for download, but they accept throwaway email addresses).

I don't know yet if it syncs automatically, though.

Thanks.

C.

Hi all,

   I guess this is a simple question, but I haven't found a solution so far: I'm trying to setup Mercury Mail as a local IMAP mirror. That is I'd like Mercury to retrieve mail from an IMAP account, and then connect to Mercury locally via IMAP to access this mail. Is this possible? If so, how? Any hints and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Felix

Not possible with Mercury, it does not have a IMAP4 client capability.  That said you can get all mail from an IMAP4 account and deliver it to another IMAP4 server using the utility IMAPCopy.

First download IMAPCopy:
http://home.arcor.de/armin.diehl/imapcopy/imapcopy.html

Configure it to copy from the remote IMAP4 server account  to your IMAP Server account. These configuration settings are entered into the ImapCopy.cfg file.  Then run:

imapcopy.exe -s -e

the -e tells IMAPCopy to copy all folders, including empty ones and the -s tells IMAPCopy to subscribe you to any folders that are created on the destination.  When IMAPCopy finishes, you should have all your remote IMAP4 mail and folders copied to the Mercury/32 IMAP Server.[/quote]

Thanks for the help!

The IMAP account I'm trying to mirror is a GMail account--and I can't connect without SSL as far as I know. Is there a way to configure IMAPCopy to use SSL? Also, is there something for Win32 which is more like OfflineIMAP [1], in that it synchronizes rather than copying each time?

cheers!

I have no idea.  You need to talk to the developer.  That said, you can use Stunnel to do things like this.  http://www.stunnel.org/

 synchronizes rather than copying each time?

Again, sorry I have nothing that will help you here.
