According to Debian's 'apt-cache search imap sync', the following came
up.

isync - Synchronize a local maildir with a remote IMAP4 mailbox
mailsync - Synchronize IMAP mailboxes
offlineimap - IMAP/Maildir synchronization and reader support

I haven't ever used IMAP stuff, so I can't vouch for any of this.

Hello !

First sorry for this crosspost, but i wasn't sure, which newsgroup
(setup or networking) is accurate for that subject.

Is there any software (under the GPL and allmost stable) to fetch
hierarchically mailbox folders from an Exchange 2000 Server using
the IMAP proto and store them into one of the following linux imap
servers: Courier, Cyrus, UW Imap Server.

I first tried to solve this via fetchmail, but there is a problem
with folders on the same level as inbox.

if there is no software that can handle that, maybe anyone knows a
software, which can fetch iterative (step by step) each mailbox
folder from the exchange imap server and store them into a mbox or
maildir store. In that case I would make a perl script that shows
me the list of folders, like:

area23: # telnet exchange.intern.dom 143
Connected to exchange.intern.dom.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Microsoft Exchange 2000 IMAP4rev1 server version 6.0.6249.0
(exchange.intern.dom) ready.
0000 CAPABILITY
* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 IDLE LOGIN-REFERRALS MAILBOX-REFERRALS
NAMESPACE LITERAL+ UIDPLUS CHILDREN AUTH=NTLM
0000 OK CAPABILITY completed.
0001 LOGIN "user" "pass"
0001 OK LOGIN completed.
0002 LIST "" "*"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Inbox
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Messages/Admin"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Messages/Admin/intern"
[...]

I do not need synchronization between the 2 server, just the linux
machine should fetch (via cron and interactive) the current folders
from the exchange.

Thank you, for your help.
Best regards
