[Bug 356366] [NEW] syncing to gmail corrupts inbox

[Jack Wasey]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: imapsync

I am syncing a lot of folders to a gmail account. I have tried various combinations of settings, but I have always translated the folder name to add a prefix, so my original gmail labels/folders would not be affected.
However, I see that the ends of emails have been merged into the beginning of others, and the subject lines no longer match the content - this has happened in my Gmail inbox which was not written to by imapsync (or shouldn't have been).

This could be a gmail bug, but either way, it is pretty serious data
corruption, so at least needs some warning. Some gmail specific flags
which work would be useful to know.

apt-cache policy imapsync 
imapsync:
  Installed: 1.252-1
  Candidate: 1.252-1
