bakimap2

Python code to backup your IMAP accounts (really working and really FREE and opensource). Bakimap2 is mainly bakimap with IMAP accounts details read from a json file. By default, bakimap2.py reads bakimap2.json. You can put another json file instead of bakimap2.json in command line parameter like :

D:\GILLES\CIMAP>py bakimap2.py another_file.json

Example of first run output :

D:\GILLES\CIMAP>py bakimap2.py

now it's up to you

After downloading bakimap.py, you have to set some parameters in bakimap2.json (as usual) before using it! Remember :

• "NEW" backup mode only saves new messages from last run (like incremental backup) : recommended!
• "RESET" backup mode delete existing saved messages and saves all messages found on IMAP host to mirror the folders account (mainly for me when testing)

{
    "imap_accounts": [
        {
            "HOST"     : "imap.me.com",
            "USERNAME" : "[email protected]",
            "PASSWORD" : "$$##$$",
            "FOLDERS"  : [ { "name": "INBOX" }, { "name": "Sent" } ],
            "BACKUP"   : "NEW"
        },
        {
            "HOST"     : "imap.you.com",
            "USERNAME" : "[email protected]",
            "PASSWORD" : "$$##$$",
            "FOLDERS"  : [ { "name": "INBOX" } ],
            "BACKUP"   : "NEW"
        }
    ]
}
