Description-en: mailbox synchronization tools
Sync Mail Dir is a set of utilities to synchronize a pair of mailboxes
in Maildir format, using SSH to transfer data. It provides the smd-pull
utility to pull changes made on the remote mailbox, smd-push to propagate
local changes to the remote mailbox, and smd-loop to iterate push and pull
in a timely way.
.
The software is young and should thus be used with care in production
environments.
.
Unlike OfflineIMAP, it does not require an IMAP server to be installed on the
remote host. Moreover, it never attempts to automatically resolve conflicts
between incompatible mailbox statuses - it just notifies the user explaining
how to fix the problem.
.
Sync Mail Dir's design is similar to that of Maildirsync, but is more
efficient in terms of CPU cycles and disk I/O.
