Now the source and the destination for imapsync can only be network ports:

$ imapsync --help | head -20

usage: /usr/bin/imapsync [options]

Several options are mandatory. 

--host1       &lt;string&gt; : &quot;from&quot; imap server. Mandatory.
--port1       &lt;int&gt;    : port to connect on host1. Default is 143.
--user1       &lt;string&gt; : user to login on host1. Mandatory.
--authuser1   &lt;string&gt; : user to auth with on host1 (admin user). 
                         Avoid using --authmech1 SOMETHING with --authuser1.
--password1   &lt;string&gt; : password for the user1. Dangerous, use --passfile1
--passfile1   &lt;string&gt; : password file for the user1. Contains the password.
--host2       &lt;string&gt; : &quot;destination&quot; imap server. Mandatory.
--port2       &lt;int&gt;    : port to connect on host2. Default is 143.
--user2       &lt;string&gt; : user to login on host2. Mandatory.
--authuser2   &lt;string&gt; : user to auth with on host2 (admin user).
--password2   &lt;string&gt; : password for the user2. Dangerous, use --passfile2
--passfile2   &lt;string&gt; : password file for the user2. Contains the password.
--noauthmd5            : don&apos;t use MD5 authentification.
--authmech1   &lt;string&gt; : auth mechanism to use with host1:
$ 

It would be quite convenient if one could use imapsync with a local imap server through a local socket, so that the imap server runs completely privately, without any exposure to unpredictable connections on the network port.

(This would be useful for creating and maintaining a local copy of a remote mailbox on a computer which is not supposed to be set up as an IMAP server accepting untrusted incoming connections, doing authentication etc.)</thetext>
