How To Fix interimap: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu interimap is provided by interimap package.

interimap is:

InterIMAP performs stateful bi-directional synchronization between two IMAP4rev1 servers. Compared to the so-called “full” synchronization solutions, InterIMAP is both much faster and parsimonious in network traffic.

Stateful synchronization is made possible by the QRESYNC extension from [RFC7162]; for convenience reasons servers must also support LIST-EXTENDED [RFC5258], LIST-STATUS [RFC5819] and UIDPLUS [RFC4315].

Furthermore, while InterIMAP can work with servers lacking support for LITERAL+ [RFC2088] and MULTIAPPEND [RFC3502], these extensions greatly improve performance by reducing the number of required round trips and it thus strongly recommended to use a server supporting these.

InterIMAP supports the COMPRESS=DEFLATE extension from [RFC4978]. It is enabled by default on remote servers advertising it, in order to reduce network traffic, especially for long-lived connections.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install interimap

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install interimap.

sudo apt -y install interimap

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install interimap
