     --prefix1      str  : Remove prefix str to all destination folders,
                           usually "INBOX." or "INBOX/" or an empty string "".
                           imapsync guesses the prefix if host1 imap server
                           does not have NAMESPACE capability. So this option
                           should not be used most of the time.
     --prefix2      str  : Add prefix to all host2 folders. See --prefix1

--sep1         str  : Host1 separator. This option should not be used
                           most of the time.
                           Imapsync gets the separator from the server itself,
                           by using NAMESPACE, or it tries to guess it
                           from the folders listing (it counts
                           characters / . \\ \ in folder names and choose the
                           more frequent, or finally / if nothing is found.
     --sep2         str  : Host2 separator. See --sep1

--noabletosearch    : Makes --minage and --maxage options use the internal 
                       dates given by a FETCH imap command instead of the 
                       "Date:" header. Internal date is the arrival date 
                       in the mailbox.
                       --noabletosearch equals --noabletosearch1 --noabletosearch2

--noabletosearch1   : Like --noabletosearch but for host1.
 --noabletosearch2   : Like --noabletosearch but for host2.

--useheader    str  : Use this header to compare messages on both sides.
                       Example: Message-ID or Subject or Date.
 --useheader    str    and this one, etc.
