Re: One way back-up of imap server

["David L. Emerson" <demerson3x@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm no expert, but...

Someone asked about this recently, and I'm fairly certain the answer was 
ultimately "no, that's not possible" -- it always does a two-way sync.

The thread started on 2007-11-28 and ended on the 30th, subject 
line "OfflineIMAP for backups"

The concern in the previous thread was with deleting messages from the 
server when they are accidentally deleted from the local machine. Since 
your concern is for the reverse, it might be even easier to deal with 
it ... just write a little script to hardlink all the mail to another 
directory before syncing.

to have such a set-up as a back-up to an imap account which is accessed 
by a group of people and accidental deletion of mail is frequent.
