...
--prefix1 str : Remove prefix str to all destination folders,
usually "INBOX." or "INBOX/" or an empty string "".
imapsync guesses the prefix if host1 imap server
does not have NAMESPACE capability. So this option
should not be used most of the time.
--prefix2 str : Add prefix to all host2 folders. See --prefix1
--sep1 str : Host1 separator. This option should not be used
most of the time.
Imapsync gets the separator from the server itself,
by using NAMESPACE, or it tries to guess it
from the folders listing (it counts
characters / . \\ \ in folder names and choose the
more frequent, or finally / if nothing is found.
--sep2 str : Host2 separator. See --sep1
--noabletosearch : Makes --minage and --maxage options use the internal
dates given by a FETCH imap command instead of the
"Date:" header. Internal date is the arrival date
in the mailbox.
--noabletosearch equals --noabletosearch1 --noabletosearch2
--noabletosearch1 : Like --noabletosearch but for host1.
--noabletosearch2 : Like --noabletosearch but for host2.
--useheader str : Use this header to compare messages on both sides.
Example: Message-ID or Subject or Date.
--useheader str and this one, etc.

--prefix1 "" --sep1 "/" --useheader Message-Id --noabletosearch
