• larch – is a tool to copy messages from one IMAP server to another quickly and safely.

It is useful for mailbox migration, and reduces the amount of data transferred by only copying messages that are not present on both servers.

Diese Kombination, liebe Freunde der sicheren Komunikation to go, kann unter Umständen die Wände hoch treiben.

Wenn man nämlich auf dem iPhone einen IMAP-Account einrichtet dessen sichere Kommunikation auf einem selbst signierten Zertifikat beruht passiert folgendes:

Das iPhone öffnet eine sichere Verbindung¹ zu dem IMAP-Server auf Port 993². Dann stellt es fest, dass das Zertifikat nicht bekannt ist und fragt nach, ob man wirklich mit diesem Server reden will.

Das will man natürlich und das iPhone will wieder über eine sichere Verbindung mit dem IMAP-Server reden. Aber dieses mal auf Port 143…

Das, werte verbliebene Leserschaft die immer noch diese exotischen Begriffe in sich aufsaugt, ist ein recht großes und schwer zu erkennendes Problem wenn man nur Port 993 auf dem IMAP-Server geöffnet hat.

Nach der Entdeckung des Problems ist die Lösung dann sehr einfach:

Für die Ersteinrichtung öffnet man den Port 143³ einfach und im Anschluss daran kann man auch, oh Wunder, in den erweiterten Einstellungen auf dem iPhone den Port 993 als zu verwendenden IMAP-Port konfigurieren.

Warum es diese Funktionalität nicht auch schon bei der Ersteinrichtung über einen “Erweitert”-Button gibt ist mir utterly unexplainable, aber jetzt läufts halt.
