At the link below you can find outputs from rsync -vvinrc and rsync
-vvvinrc with --delete option. Strange thing is with -vv Jira is synced
most of the time, but with three `v's (-vvv) I never managed to get in
synced. With -vv and without -i rsync says all emails in Jira are up
to date. Odd.

You can compare outputs. If you would like to request rsync with any
other options I can upload them upon request. Unfortunately I cannot
share my email contents.
