Question: Local messages not on remote #127

Closed DocCyblade closed 2 years ago

DocCyblade commented 2 years ago

Nice little gem here, was wondering is there an option to purge local messages that are not on the remote but our on the local? Example, I remove delete 100 messages, still shows on local. Is there a purge local command

Hi @DocCyblade

What you're after is on the roadmap as the imap-backup mirror command.

The basic imap-backup functionality is greedy: it keeps all the messages it can, whether or not they are still available on the server.

The upcoming imap-backup mirror command will duplicate state between 2 IMAP servers or between a source server and disk. So it will prune messages as and when they disappear from the source server. (See also #114)

@DocCyblade I've just releasse version 7.0.1 which includes the new 'mirror' command. Let me know if you have a chance to try it out!
