I observe that dsync fills Maildir correctly incl. cur, if I delete
Maildir just before dsync runs.
Can the failed mbox to Maildir conversion be caused by dovecot creating
Maildir automatically if a client connects to dovecot?
Should dovecot be shutdown when running dsync?
All the best,

Hi all,
I have dovecot serving aprox 200 users through mbox, but the time has
come to migrate to a new server, and to use Maildir.
Using rsync from the old server I get all user data, i.e /home/*, and
inboxes i.e /var/mail/* to a new server. This has worked well for some
time as backup.
The dsync should convert everything to Maildir, and it does... to an
extent. (linebrakes for easy viewing)
What I see, is that often, the /home/mail/xxx is NOT resulting in
/home/xxx/Maildir/cur
All mailboxes from /home/xxx, are properly converted to
/home/xxx/Maildir/.name_of_ box
Am I misunderstanding something?
I get it to work sometimes if I delete the ~/Maildir completely before
doing the dsync.
All, and any help most welcome,
Torbj?rn
for i in `cat /home2/torbjorn/SCRIPTS/userlist.txt`;
do dsync -D -v -f -u $i -c /etc/dovecot/alt_config/10-mail.MBOX.conf
backup maildir:~/Maildir;
done > /home2/torbjorn/SCRIPTS/mb2mdRES.txt 2>&1
the -c 10.mail.MBOX.conf contains, the parts I think are relevant for
the dsync operation:
mail_location = mbox:~/home:INBOX=/home/mail/%u
namespace {
type = private
separator = '/'
inbox = yes
}
