I'm trying to use imapcopy to move three IMAP email accounts from Rackspace to a new Google Apps account.

imapcopy doesn't work with SSL, so I'm using stunnel as described here:

In terminal A, open stunnel to connect to gmail

In terminal B, run imapcopy

For some reason I can't fathom, all I get is:

Unable to connect to destination imap-server "imap.gmail.com:1143"

I've tried various combinations (gmail/googlemail, 1143/143) and am completely stuck.

Any ideas?

There's a very similar workaround at manpages.ubuntu.com (manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/imapcopy.1.html): "Sadly IMAPCopy does not have builtin SSL/TLS support, so you can not connect to most modern IMAP servers. A workaround is to run stunnel -c -f -d 1143 -r imap.boh.org:993 -P '' in parallel with IMAPCopy and then modify the configuration to connect to port 1143 on localhost." The same thing happens, though. – Eugenio Perea Jan 19 at 16:50
