Failed imapsync authentication.

dsm
I am trying to migrate my emails using imapsync tool. When I installed imapsync I managed to do some migration, but now it does not. I think it's some of cPanel configuration that is blocking access. The following message appears in the log:
/usr/bin/imapsync --host1 imap.domain.com --user1 myemail@mydomain.com --password1 MASKED --host2 myIP --user2 destemail@sourcedomain.com --password2 MASKED Temp directory is /tmp PID file is /tmp/imapsync.pid Modules version list: Mail::IMAPClient 3.35 IO::Socket 1.31 IO::Socket::IP ?

Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks

    Unfortunately I could not help anywhere. But with a little test could solve the problem. Just change the IP of the target server to 127.0.0.1 I hope new people who have this problem can solve it here.
