How to use IMAPSYNC with Yahoo IMAP
It took me quite a while to get this all worked out. So once i figured it out I figured I should document it for prosperities sake.
IMAPSYNC is a cool tool that let's you sync folders between 2 IMAP style mailboxes. If you use Ubuntu (and why don't you?). You can get it from apt-get with this command
sudo apt-get install imapsync
The syntax is fairly straight forward, until you want to sync with a "Yahoo" IMAP server, because the Yahoo server has a few 'tricks'.
So to make it easy just grab a copy of this perl script
