If it wasn't clear how this works: "Client" and "server" are both Dovecots, client just has no/slow network connection. 1. Client runs a command to create a replication batch file that's stored on USB memory stick (or whatever). 2. The USB stick is plugged into another machine with a higher network bandwidth to the server. 3. The replication batch file is copied to the server and a command is run to process it. The command creates a reply batch file. 4. The reply file is copied to the USB stick and the file gets moved to the client. 5. Client runs a command to import the reply file. This works because the mailbox synchronization doesn't require more than one roundtrip.
