That's not where the problem is. I'm alway using slash at the end of both folders. I run always rsync -n -rcv --delete backup/ mail/ and rsync randomly repors that Jira should be synced or not if I run this command five times in a row in 1 second interval. $ ls backup/ mail/ backup/: Afolder Deleted Items INBOX MBox Sent Items Calendar Dfolder Jira Outbox Tasks Cfolder Drafts Journal Procedures Tickets Contacts Gfolder Lfolder Projects mail/: Afolder Deleted Items INBOX MBox Sent Items Calendar Dfolder Jira Outbox Tasks Cfolder Drafts Journal Procedures Tickets Contacts Gfolder Lfolder Projects Also, diff -ruN -x INBOX backup/ mail/ doesn't give any output, as all is identical in backup/ and mail/ (except INBOX like explained in my other email). -- best regards q# -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
