This will move messages from one IMAP system to another
php ./imap-move.php \
--source imap-ssl://userA:[email protected]:993/ \
--target imap-ssl://userB:[email protected]:993/sub-folder \
[ --wipe --fake --copy ]
--fake to just list what would be copied
--wipe to remove messages after they are copied (move)
--copy to store copies of the messages in a path
The source/target is of the form:
SCHEME://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT/[SUBFOLDER]
SCHEME is one of the following:
* imap-ssl # most commonly used
* imap-tls
* imap-novalidate-cert # use on shared hosts that fail due to invalid certificate
If you get the error - "Couldn't open stream {server.example.com:143}INBOX", use the imap-novalidate-cert scheme.
Included is a shell wrapper to make life a bit easier, see imap-move.sh
