Hello Michael,
I've been trying to sync a larger IMAP mailbox (~6Gb including all folders) and imapsync constantly gets terminated by the kernel OOM-killer because it takes up all available memory (1024 mb).
This maybe a well known problem coming directly from libmail-imapclient-perl. The problem doesn't come with large mailbox but with large messages. imapsync uses memory nearly 17 times the largest message size. There is also an old memory issue on freebsd systems.
This makes imapsync basically useless for me, so I was tempted to file with severity grave.
Ok. You can "fix" this with --maxsize 10000000 --useheader Message-Id or by buying a better tool or RAM or by fixing this memory problem, it is not a leak issue, the code written in Mail::IMAPClient does allocate inefficiently objects. -- Au revoir, 09 51 84 42 42 Gilles Lamiral.
