Host1 failure: Can not go to tls encryption on host1 [mail.duybao.me]: Unable to start TLS: SSL connect attempt failed error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while readingYou got it because the Exchange server doesn’t have a valid certificate or using a self-certificate.
To fix it, you need to change the authentication for IMAP protocol to Basic Authentication on your Exchange Server. The steps are shown in the below screenshot.
Changing the login method requires restart the IMAP services. You can restart them from services.msc or can do it using PowerShell:
Get-Service *imap* | Restart-ServiceBecause the Exchange server doesn’t have a valid certificate, so you need to add these options in the migration command.
imapsync \
--host1 mail.duybao.me \
--user1 [email protected] \
--password1 $password1 \
--nosslcheck \
--notls1 \
\
--host2 mail.duykhang.me \
--user2 [email protected] \
--password2 $password2 \
--justloginThe error should be gone then imapsync can be authenticated for migration.
