pilerimport does not skip folders

[Jan Novak]

Hi,

i use kopano IMAP mail server and my import script looks like this:

/usr/local/bin/pilerimport -i [domain] -u mailarchiv  -p [pw] -r -P 993

First, i want only to import the INBOX, but pilerimport does import everything.

Cipher: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
server cert:
     subject: /CN=[domain]
     issuer: /C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3

List of IMAP folders:
skipping => '"Public folders" [\Noselect \HasChildren]'
=> '"INBOX/failed-to-import" [\HasNoChildren]'
=> '"Junk E-Mail" [\Junk \HasNoChildren]'
=> '"Entw&APw-rfe" [\Drafts \HasNoChildren]'
=> '"Gesendete Objekte" [\Sent \HasNoChildren]'
=> '"Gel&APY-schte Objekte" [\Trash \HasNoChildren]'
=> '"Postausgang" [\HasNoChildren]'
=> '"INBOX" [\HasChildren]'
processing folder: "Postausgang"... found 0 messages
processing folder: "INBOX/failed-to-import"... found 0 messages
processing folder: "Gel&APY-schte Objekte"... found 0 messages
processing folder: "INBOX"... found 0 messages
processing folder: "Entw&APw-rfe"... found 0 messages
processing folder: "Junk E-Mail"... found 0 messages
processing folder: "Gesendete Objekte"... found 0 messages

Then i try this:

/usr/local/bin/pilerimport -i [domain] -u mailarchiv  -p [pw] -r -P 993  -x "Postausgang,"

but it is the same as above. Everything will be processed. Another (or the same) problem: I cannot move "failed to import mails" into my "INBOX/failed-to-import" Folder (with Parameter "-j"

[UPDATE] Skipping Folders works, but not for Subdirectories and Directories with diacritics. I tried some Versions :

‌

pilerimport -o -i XXXXXXXXXXXX -u XXXXX -p XXXXXXXXXXXXX -P 993 -x 'Trash','Kalender','Kalender/Feiertage in Deutschland','Junk-E-Mail','Calendar','Drafts','Deleted Items','Entw&APw-rfe','Gel&APY-schte Elemente','Gel&APY-schte Elemente',

Output:

‌

very bad, if all your (to excludeing) subfoders are under the Inbox and cannot be moved out of the inbox…

Well, -x stands for skip folders. You may want to use -f INBOX to specify for importing INBOX only. Will you try this as well?

[Jan Novak]

I think you haven’t understand the question. I know the -f switch. But with this switch, everything els - under the inbox folder - will be imported also.

Like the most imap servers, my server has manually created subfolders only under the inbox. I want to skip exactly this folders folders, but not the inbox it self.

Ok, solved. The Problem were caused to due blanks in the Folder names. You have to use a single quote and a quotation mark ae.g. '"Gel&APY-schte Elemente"',

‌

SKIPPING FOLDER: "Kalender/Feiertage in Deutschland"

SKIPPING FOLDER: "Gel&APY-schte Elemente"

Thank you for your fast support!

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but first i thougt i have the same problem

[Jan Novak]

I didnt find any documentation, who describes this. How should i (we) know that?
Also the question is, is piler skipps folder under the inbox?

Pilerimport should skip folders in INBOX, eg. INBOX/folder1 if you specify -x INBOX/folder1,

Let me know how it goes. And I appreciate your donation.

[Janos SUTO]

OK, let’s say you have the following imap folder structure:

‌

INBOX
INBOX/folder1
INBOX/folder2
INBOX/folder3

if you want to skip INBOX/folder2 only, but import INBOX/folder1 and folder3, then specify -x INBOX/folder2,
