Mbsync
- # marks comments.
- Strings with spaces should be enclosed in double quotes (")
- Two basic object classes: Stores and Channels. Two auxiliary objects Accounts and Groups
- Store: Defines a collection of mailboxes; basically a folder, either local or remote.
- Channel: Connects two Stores, describing the way the two are synchronized.
- Accound: Describes the connection part of network Stores, so server configureations can be shared between multiple Stores.
- Group: Aggregates multiple Channels to save typing on the command line.
- File system locations (in particular, Path and Inbox) use the Store’s internal path separators, which may be slashes, periods, etc., or even combinations thereof.
- Mailbox names, OTOH, always use canonical path separators, which are Unix-like forward slashes.
