Funny, that's one of the first thing I thought reading your issue
and I said to myself "enough with --split and my many questions".

So thanks, now we can add a good FAQ entry. I'll be happy if you write
this small documentation (plain ascii is good), I don't have much time.
See the FAQ file for an example.


You can also try ssl with external ssl support stunnel,
from the FAQ :
=======================================================================
Q. Does imapsync support IMAP over TLS (IMAPS)?

R. Yes natively since release 1.161. 
still, 2 ways, at least :

a) Use --ssl1 and/or --ssl2 options

--ssl1 tells imapsync to use ssl on host1
--ssl2 tells imapsync to use ssl on host2


b) Use stunnel
   http://www.stunnel.org/
   Assuming there is an imaps (993) server on imap.foo.org,
   on your localhost machine (or bar machine) run :
       stunnel -c -d imap -r imap.foo.org:imaps
   or using names instead of numbers 
       stunnel -c -d 143 -r imap.foo.org:993
   then use imapsync on localhost (or bar machine) imap (143) port.
