2011-01-23 Thread Gergely Risko
Hi guys, Executive summary for new recipients (debian-legal): imapsync has changed its distribution policy, downloads from the author's original website are not free (as in beer) anymore. Of course `apt-get source' or `apt-get install' is still free, as the package is still in the Debian archive.

Hello Michael, As the memory usage constantly grew before imapsync getting killed, I assumed it was a mem-leak. I'm sorry if this assumption was wrong. I said maybe. Your tries with --maxsize will tell us. Given your comments, this means I probably have an email which is bigger than 60Mb.
