# Imapsync list of the 88 imap server software applications supported (and the broken ones) (back to menu)

To know whether your IMAP server is a widespread choice, take a look at http://openemailsurvey.org/ or the Shodan imap query result.
The short answer is that if you're not using the famous Dovecot then you're in a niche!

Let's start with the long reported success stories list: 83 different imap server software tools supported!
[host1] means "source server" and [host2] means "destination server":

Please report to the author (gilles@lamiral.info) any success or bad story with imapsync and, if you know them, mention the IMAP server software names and version on both sides. This will help future users. You can grab these values, software name and release number, by looking at two lines at the beginning of the output. Example:

     ...
     Host1 banner:* OK louloutte Cyrus IMAP4 v1.5.19 server ready
     Host2 banner:* OK Courier-IMAP ready

You can use the following command to get those lines Examples:

    imapsync --host1 test1.lamiral.info

    imapsync --host1 imap.gmail.com

And now the imap software servers imapsync success list:

Let's finish with reported failure stories over the past.
Maybe new imapsync releases can run successfully with them.
Don't hesitate to have a try, It's been a long time since last failure occurred, I will help you and make efforts to switch them to the success list, that's my job.

1. DBMail 0.9, 2.0.7 (GPL). But most other DBMail releases are supported (see below).
2. Imail 7.04 (maybe).
3. MailEnable 1.54 (Proprietary) but MailEnable 4.23 is supported.
4. (2011) MDaemon 12.0.3 as host2 but MDaemon is supported as host1. MDaemon is simply buggy with the APPEND IMAP command with any IMAP email client.
