imapsync - Authentication failed
- by Touff
I've deployed many Google Apps accounts and have used imapsync a number of times to migrate accounts to Google Apps.
This time however, no matter what I try imapsync refuses to work claiming my credentials are incorrect - I've checked them time and time again and they are 100% correct.
On Ubuntu 12, built from source, my command is:
imapsync --host1 myserver.com --user1 [email protected] --password1 mypassword1 -ssl1 --host2 imap.gmail.com --user2 [email protected] --password2 mypassword2 -ssl2 -authmech2 PLAIN
Full output from the command:
get options: [1]

Host1: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready.
Host1: SERVER1 says it has CAPABILITY for AUTHENTICATE LOGIN
Host1: success login on [SERVER1] with user [USER1] auth [LOGIN]
Host2: * OK Gimap ready for requests from MY-VPS
Host2: imap.gmail.com says it has CAPABILITY for AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
Failure: error login on [imap.gmail.com] with user [USER2] auth [PLAIN]: 2 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)
I have tried -authmech2 LOGIN as well which returns:
Host2: imap.gmail.com says it has NO CAPABILITY for AUTHENTICATE LOGIN
Failure: error login on [imap.gmail.com] with user [[email protected]] auth [LOGIN]: 2 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)
If anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it.
