Change history
---------------
8-DEC-2010 (ident V6.5-x5)
Added two enhancements to the migrate utility to be more robust and deal with
communication problems. The "-recover" option has been added to tell migrate
to reconnect to a remote IMAP server if it gets a communication failure. The
"-fromrecon" and "-torecon" options have been added to tell migrate to
periodically disconnect and reconnect to the source and destination IMAP
servers (respectively). The "-fromrecon" and "-torecon" options take a
parameter which is the number of messages to send between reconnecting.
