I'm considering to move my mails from maildir/mbox to mdbox. One of my
doubts is: how can I restore my mails when something terrribly wrong
happens.
I understand that I should use doveadm import "backup_location"
"mailbox" all.
So I try to import with:
doveadm -v import "sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/"
"#Dbox/spamcop/reports" all
#Dbox namespace were defined as:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
namespace {
hidden = no
inbox = no
list = yes
location = mdbox:~/Mail/Dbox
prefix = "#Dbox/"
separator = /
subscriptions = yes
type = private
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
dbox-temp were defined earlier as
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
namespace {
hidden = no
inbox = no
list = yes
location = sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp
separator = /
subscriptions = yes
type = private
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
1. when I specified for example sdbox:~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/ doveadm
search mails under ~/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/
- am I missing something from documentation?
(I expected rather ~/Mail/dbox-temp/mailboxes/spamcop/reports/dbox-Mails)
2. when I move dbox-Mails to proper place I got:
doveadm(kjonca): Error: sdbox
/home/kjonca/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: Invalid
dbox header size
doveadm(kjonca): Error: sdbox
/home/kjonca/Mail/dbox-temp/spamcop/reports/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: Invalid
dbox header size
And nothing were imported.
Notices:
a) there were only u.* files, no indexes.
b) u.* files were created on i386 system, and import test on amd64.
