NAME¶
smd-translate - translates mailbox names according to predefined patterns
SYNOPSIS¶
smd-translate [-m mode] [-d direction] endpoint mailbox
DESCRIPTION¶
smd-translate translates
mailbox names according to predefined
patterns. It is designed to be used in the configuration file of
smd-push(1) and
smd-pull(1).
Refer to
smd-config(5) for a longer discussion on translators.
Supported modes follow.
- oimap-dovecot
This
mode is designed to make the transition of offlineimap users to smd
simpler. It assumes remote mailboxes are named like in the following:
Maildir/cur
Maildir/.sub.folder/new
The corresponding local mailboxes are named like in the following:
Mail/cur
Mail/sub.folder/new
- nodots
This
mode simply gets rid of all dots. It assumes remote mailboxes are
named like in the following:
Maildir/cur
Maildir/.sub.folder/new
The corresponding local mailboxes are named like in the following:
Mail/cur
Mail/sub/folder/new
- move
This
mode just replaces the root of the
mailbox, i.e. substitutes
MAILBOX_LOCAL for MAILBOX_REMOTE and viceversa.
USAGE IN CONFIGURATION FILE¶
Assuming the MAILBOX_LOCAL configuration variable is set to Mail and the
MAILBOX_REMOTE is set to Maildir, one can use the following configuration file
snippet in ~/.smd/config.endpoint:
TRANSLATOR_RL="smd-translate -m oimap-dovecot -d RL endpoint"
TRANSLATOR_LR="smd-translate -m oimap-dovecot -d LR endpoint"
To test your setup use the
smd-check-conf(1) utility.
OPTIONS¶
