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

    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

    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"

OPTIONS¶
