I am trying to migrate my emails using imapsync tool.
When I installed imapsync I managed to do some migration, but now it does not.
I think it's some of cPanel configuration that is blocking access.

The following message appears in the log:
Code:
/usr/bin/imapsync --host1 imap.domain.com --user1 [email protected] --password1 MASKED --host2 myIP --user2 [email protected] --password2 MASKED
Temp directory is /tmp
PID file is /tmp/imapsync.pid

Host2: myIP says it has CAPABILITY for AUTHENTICATE LOGIN

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks

Unfortunately I could not help anywhere. But with a little test could solve the problem.

Just change the IP of the target server to 127.0.0.1

I hope new people who have this problem can solve it here.
