I'm back again moving another bunch of mailboxes.

imapsync is like software from another age, when a person made it, and then
you gave them money for it, and then you owned it.

The website just adds to the aura of nostalgia.

I love https://imapsync.lamiral.info/X/, it takes me back 30 years, to a time
when you might imagine entering your email credentials including password into
a website...
