I’m currently migrating emails for one of our customers from the old hosting company to the new one. To do this we are using imapsync – an awesome tool!
TL;DR: Just use the docker box by Gilles…
https://hub.docker.com/r/gilleslamiral/imapsync
But currently there is a weird bug on mac, that it might take a lot of memory up to the moment, that the process is killed. So I thought I „just“ use a linux based docker box, which is not so easy at all.
One can start a box with the following command and mount the current working dir into /current – because I had my csv file and the loop script already here.
docker run -v .:/current -it --rm ubuntu /bin/bashAnd then we need to install afew things to make imapsync compile

Now the ticket says: „We need that, but from code — duplicate a product per sales channel, with adjusted name and its own product number.“ Or: „Campaign landing pages: clone this CMS page 20 times with different headlines.“ I’ve watched this get implemented as: load entity with […]
The requirement sounds harmless every time: „Log when a product price changes, with old and new value.“ Or: „When an order’s email changes, notify the old address.“ Or the audit-trail classic: „Who changed what, from what, to what?“ And every time, the naive implementation is the same sad shape: subscribe to product.written, load the entity […]
A code review scenario. A plugin adds a purchasePrice-style field to a custom entity — internal margin data. The review question: „Can the Store API read this?“ Followed by: „Can the Admin API write that computed field you recalculate in a subscriber?“ The answers, in the plugin at hand, were „yes“ and „yes, and then […]
