Re: [imapsync] imapsync dies...

[Phil Lobbes <plobbes at zimbra dot com>]

I have seen similar behavior when a SIGPIPE is encountered.  The latest Mail::IMAPClient 3.x now handles SIGPIPE but older versions did not.

I'd recommmend trying imapsync with '--allow3xx' and getting the latest Mail::IMAPClient from CPAN.

However, that by itself likely won't fix the problem, but just catch the error condition.  I would guess that your host2 (or some firewall/router in between perhaps) is closing the imap connection due to inactivity.

I've got a patched version of imapsync that does a 'noop' between things (this is sometimes not enough... and appears it probably isn't in your case) and I also added an option to Mail::IMAPClient to support enabling SO_KEEPALIVE on a connection (but even with this you may still need to tune your OS to have keepalives sent before an aggressive firewall closes a connection) -- imapsync doesn't currently try to do anything for Keepalives as this option was only introduced a few weeks ago in Mail::IMAPClient.

Not sure any of this helps... but hopefully gets you headed down the right path.

Phil

Here is the startup...

get options: [1]
VERSION_IMAPClient 2.2.9
$RCSfile: imapsync,v $ $Revision: 1.279 $ $Date: 2009/03/22 00:12:15 $
Here is a [linux] system (Linux mba 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Sat Jan 10 18:29:31
UTC
2009 i686)
with perl 5.10.0
Mail::IMAPClient  2.2.9
IO::Socket        1.30_01
IO::Socket::SSL   1.23
Digest::MD5       2.36_01
Digest::HMAC_MD5  1.01
Term::ReadKey
Date::Manip
 and the module Mail::IMAPClient version used here is 2.2.9
Command line used:
imapsync --syncinternaldates --host1 server1 --user1 user1 -
-password1 MASKED --ssl1 --port1 993 --authmech1 PLAIN --authmech2 LOGIN
--host2
 imap.gmail.com --port2 993 --ssl2 --user2 user at gmail dot com --useheader
Message-Id --skipsize --folder INBOX.Test Folder
 --delete2 --expunge2 --debug --debugimap --password2  PWCHANGED
Turned ON syncinternaldates, will set the internal dates (arrival dates) on
host
2 same as host1.
TimeZone:[PHT]

Imapsync then goes through a bunch of stuff (I'm only working with one
folder)... and at the end it dies with this... And back to the command
prompt... no error message, no nothing....

Any ideas?
