Description-en: Sync Mail Dir is a set of tools to synchronize Maildirs
Sync Mail Dir is a set of utilities to synchronize a pair of mail boxes
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, 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 requires no 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
he can fix the problem.
.
Sync Mail Dir design is similar to the one of Maildirsync, but is more
efficient in terms of CPU cycles and disk I/O.
