| The author disagrees with you https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync/issues/257#issuecomment... Why you don't find a direct download link on the upstream site https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ is because: - I earn my leaving from imapsync buyers but less likely on donators, as a measured fact. - Donations work 1/100 less than payments, ie, for $1 from donators I get $100 of buyers. - I don't make the github release, Nicolas does, and Nicolas doesn't include the .exe binary in the repository, it is a common rule in free and open source software guidelines. I do not blame Nicolas about this. - Nicolas does a good job, a basic copy of imapsync mainstream repository where releasecheck is off and whatever he wants, like exe trash, I'm ok with that. To answer your questions: - Windows binary exe is here in the zip file: https://imapsync.lamiral.info/dist/ - Don't worry, my income won't suffer, as people don't read. The no-dowload link on the main imapsync web site is just a payment incentive. It works. It works enough to make me concentrate my work life on imapsync and their users. |
The classic "lazy/stupid tax" technique. I remember coming across a site selling downloads of popular open-source software (which is legal per the licenses, and IIRC part of the sales was actually donated to the original project) a while ago.
