I have been trying to find a way to copy everything from a Gmail account to a Dovecot mail server. The way I have ended up doing it so far is simply by using Apple Mail (if you regularly read this blog, you’d know that I use a Mac). The steps are as follows:

- Sync the Gmail account to your local computer
- Copy everything to the Dovecot server
This works, but I have to use a slow connection (my home connection) and I have a lot of accounts to do this for, so I would much prefer to script this. The problem is that I have been trying to get this to work with either imapsync or imapcopy. Neither seem to work properly.
