imapsync Alternative: Easy Mail Transfer (no setup, $0.99)
imapsync is powerful but needs Perl, CLI skills, and a VM. Easy Mail Transfer does the same job from a browser, for $0.99.

imapsync has been the gold standard for IMAP-to-IMAP migration for 20+ years. But using it requires:
- Linux/Mac terminal knowledge
- Perl + ~20 modules installed
- Correct CLI flags (--host1, --user1, --password1, --host2, --user2, --password2 + rate, --regextrans2, etc.)
- Knowing per-provider rate limits (Yandex 5/s, Gmail 20/s, etc.)
- Debugging errors yourself
Easy Mail Transfer = imapsync + UI + payments
Easy Mail Transfer's backend uses a pipelined batch FETCH worker (2-3x faster than imapsync because it pulls N messages per IMAP command). Per-provider optimized rate limits, automatic retry, dedup (Message-ID), 10-IP outbound pool rotation, AES-256-GCM encrypted password storage.
