Is there some way I can stop imapsync going through every folder in the
destination account? Surely it only needs to look at folders relevant to the
folders it is moving from in the source account?

Thanks,

mark.

I have been migrating an archive of old mail to my gmail account, and now h=
ave nearly 1200 labels in my gmail account. I want to consolidate these int=
o a few labels, but unfortunately Google doesn't allow wildcards to sea=
rch label names, and the search string has a fairly short length limit so I=
 can't easily get Google to display messages from a lot of folders in o=
ne view (in which case I could easily then apply a new label to those messa=
ges and I&#39;d be done).<div>

essages). Before I had all these labels, imapsync was running reasonably qu=
ickly (maybe a couple of minutes per run).</div>
