Usage

To copy messages from different sources you need to have at least two storage objects.

Those storage objects include:

• pymailmove.imap.IMAPServer
• pymailmove.mbox.MboxStorage

Each of those objects have a iter_messages and a append_messages method.

>>> from pymailmove.imap import IMAPServer
>>> from pymailmove.mbox import MboxStorage
>>>
>>> src = IMAPServer('localhost')
>>> dst = MboxStorage('backup.mbox')
>>>
>>> for msg in src.iter_messages():
>>>   dst.append_message(msg)

Server object’s iter_messages and append_message methods may have a mailbox parameter.

>>> src = IMAPServer('localhost')
>>> dst = MboxStorage('remotehost')
>>>
>>> for msg in src.iter_messages(mailbox='submailbox'):
>>>   dst.append_message(msg, mailbox='submailbox')
