I have mixed feelings about using [[http://isync.sourceforge.net/mbsync.html][mbsync]] in my [[id:26c9e4fd-4501-4b8b-95ce-a2a5230d7c1e][Email and News and Information Pipelines]], I've had enough issues with mail integrity that it's useful to have a [[id:cce/python][Python]] thing that I can muck around inside of with print statements to figure out what what the fuck my Maildir did to itself. I have negative feelings towards the way the project is operated, and the fact that the best documentation of the project is bunch of semi-hostile threads on a Sourceforge forum, and I'm not excited for Master/Slave terminology in a sync program...

But it's fast and works and so I'll try to use it again. I have a tiered architecture for my mail; because of the Universal Aggregator, on my laptops I want to always pull my mail from my central server, and so I have two configurations.

Here's the one for getting things from my server to my laptop. Most folks who set up a personal mail cache will configure Dovecot on the server to listen on a port, and set up authentication and firewalling and bla bla bla. Even if you have a VPN and manage to make sure your IMAP server is only on that VPN, you have to set up a password database or some other sort of authentication strategy, fucken sucks. Instead, I build my security on top of my [[id:cce/ssh_configuration][SSH Configuration]][fn:2:(admittedly, my SSH configuration should be refreshed)], by establishing an SSH tunnel which executes the built-in =imap= library executable, which provides a locally-authenticated dovecot session over standard input/output.

The last time I used =mbsync=, I experienced issues with mail IDs in my =newsrc.eld= file, which Gnus uses to store which lists I am subscribed too, and also functions as a cache for message and folder states. The latter caching was what caused these issues, I believe, but it was really difficult to debug it. If this happens again, I may switch to [[id:fa7e9d10-a98d-4036-a668-889bd1d3ea29][offlineimap]].
