[plug] Gmail Connect To Other Accounts POP3 Only, But I Need IMAP

[Shanon Loughton]

Much appreciated all.

Short of grabbing the user's passwords (trying not to do that, nor reset
them) for imapsync and creating CRON / service wrapper, it looks like
davmail is going to work out of the box.

Spun up a 2c/hr Ubuntu t2.micro, opened up the right POP port for Gmail to
check , a few pre-reqs for davmail, and confirmed Exchanges 2010 EWS was
running on blackboxed parent company server.   Now each user needs to "add
the Other Account POP3" in Gmail.

My only config change is:
...
# connection mode auto, EWS or WebDav
davmail.enableEws=EWS
# base Exchange OWA or EWS url
davmail.url=https://mail.company.com.au/ews/exchange.asmx
davmail.allowRemote=true
...
#############################################################
# IMAP settings
# Delete messages immediately on IMAP STORE \Deleted flag
davmail.imapAutoExpunge=true
# Enable IDLE support, set polling delay in minutes
davmail.imapIdleDelay=
...
#############################################################
# POP settings
# Delete messages on server after 30 days
davmail.keepDelay=30
# Delete messages in server sent folder after 90 days
davmail.sentKeepDelay=90
# Mark retrieved messages read on server
davmail.popMarkReadOnRetr=false
...

I couldnt see anything that deleted mail on retrieval, only if marked as
deleted.  POP deletes 30 days old, but that only the Gmail side/connector.
Hopefully this wont delete via EWS? Not sure what happens...Anyone know how
to check for messages just the last 7 days or so in the past?

The other risk is how expensive AWS data would be for a month of email
'relaying' for 2 users. Not much I suppose, unless it migrates their entire
mailbox history.
