Hello Sergey,

The -u option is not working well.

If I am using movemail from IMAPS to local Maildir, it is working
well, but then I cannot control duplicates.

If I am using the -u option, I am receiving this error on the end.

-------- I see emails here ---------
movemail: S: * 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen))
movemail: S: 06 OK FETCH completed.
movemail: mailbox `/home/data1/protected/Maildir': cannot get UIDLs: Requested item not found
movemail: C: 07 CLOSE
movemail: S: 07 OK mailbox closed.
Mailbox is unchanged.

After that I do not see email in the /home/data1/protected/Maildir
mailbox, so it is not transferred, probably to "cannot get UIDLs:
Requested item not found"
