run imap_upload.py in windows about imap-upload

This script is written for Python 2.x unfortunately.

Ok, I installed python 2.8 and now it works. I try to copy a folder (an Inbox renamed Inbox_yahoo) and copy it over my IMAP Yahoo account:

python.exe .\imap_upload.py "e:\correo\Local Folders\Inbox_yahoo" --retry=10 imaps://imap.mail.yahoo.com/Inbox_yahooantiguo

but i get a bunch of these errors when that folder doesn´t exist in the IMAP server

NG (CREATE command error: BAD ['[ALREADYEXISTS] CREATE failed - Mailbox exists - "Inbox_yahooantiguo"'])

Any hints?

I suspect it's trying to recreate mailboxes after they were already created, possibly because of a partially failed run. You could try backing up and deleting that mailbox.

The content is the old Inbox from my Yahoo POP3 account that I am trying to convert to IMAP. I have Thunderbird. I copied the Inbox file into my Local Folders just fine with a new name for that folder (Inbox_yahoo). Same thing I did with the Sent folder, renaming it under Local Folders as Sent_Yahoo folder.

I am trying to upload that local folder back again to the same Yahoo account but with IMAP. The rest of folders and subfolders had less amount of messages and I could move them manually.

I came across your tool when trying to find a solution for uploading a large amount of messages for my Inbox and Sent folders which are around 400-500 Mb each.

The Inbox_yahoo folder doesn´t exist in my Mailbox. I double checked it in the Yahoo webmail. Suspecting what you say I tried to use a different name (Inbox_old) or other names with the same result.

Is this output normal?

Counting the mailbox (it could take a while for the large one).

The number before the total (14065 messages) shouldn´t increase?
