Copy email into gmail using imapsync

Imapsync has added support for gmail recently. The FAQ lists an example too. This is how I did it (coming from courier) :

./imapsync \
--host1 mail,from.com --user1 user@from.com --tls1 --authmech1 LOGIN \
--host2 imap.gmail.com --user2 user@to.com --ssl2 --authmech2 LOGIN --port2 993 \
--exclude Trash --useheader 'Message-Id' --skipsize \
--regextrans2 's|Sent|\[Google Mail\]/Sent Mail|g' \
--regextrans2 's|Drafts|\[Google Mail\]/Drafts|g' \
--dry --justfolders

It's worth noting that this is only if you signed up in the UK, elsewhere substitute 'Google Mail' for 'Gmail'. You;ll also need to remove the --dry --justfolders for the real run, as the command as is will just show you what it's going to do (dry run).
