Replica until Replica goes down (maintenance or whatever). Once is down,
 in master there are still connections and modification. If I bring up 
Replica the changes made during the "blackout" are no fully transmitted 
to it. Some of the are transmitted, but not all.

I've been trying sync_client -r -f log-PID and it works. All the missing changes are applied 
without problem, I should do some script that controls this files and apply them.
anyway the log-PID is not deleted when its processed. I guess we should control the processed log-PIDs manually and move or delete them, am i right?

(/var/spool/imap & /var/lib/imap), and It works fine in my test 
environment, but in produccion it could be GB to sincronize and I think 
this is not optimum.

"sync_client -r" and "sync_server" are initiated. In my test machines I 
should run manually them each time I start cyrus-imapd, I though that it
 could be automatic one I start the service cyrus-imapd, but it is not.
