Migrate IMAP emails using imapsync

To copy emails from one mailbox to another using imapsync, use

imapsync --host1 IP_SRC_SERVER -user1 YOU@YOURDOMAIN --password1 'PASSWORD'  --host2 IP_NEW_SERVER --user2 YOU@YOURDOMAIN --password2 'PASSWORD'

Example

imapsync --host1 gator4170.hostgator.com -user1 [email protected] --password1 'CE2U7gnTq0CUk6'  --host2 server20.hostonnet.com --user2 [email protected] --password2 'CE2U7gnTq0CUk6'

In this example, source and destination email and passwords are the same.
