I tried putting a config file into /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-dsync.conf,
figuring that dovecot.conf would pick it up with the '!include
conf.d/*.conf' line, but it didn't get picked up. I have no idea why.
What is the difference between the two web pages:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync which says to run dysnc via
doveadm, e.g., 'doveadm -o mail_fsync=never sync -1 -R -u user@domain
imapc:', and http://linux.die.net/man/1/dsync, which says to run
'dynch'? The latter shows a dsync option '-F' to disable fast
syncing, for example.
Also, is there an option to run dsync in test mode, e.g., to have it
show what it thinks needs to be done, without actually doing it? I'm
a bit afraid of just running it, since I am not sure that the '-R'
option means that the mail gets moved from the remote IMAP server to
the dovecot server.
Finally, is there a way to have dsync prompt for a user password? I
need to do per-user migration (no master account on the remote
system) and prefer not to type plain text passwords on command lines
nor in config files.
Thanks!

Hi Dominik,
I'm not sure, but my guess is that it goes into a new file in
'/etc/dovecot/conf.d/', perhaps with a name such as
'90-dsync.conf'. I believe that it is also possible to not write
this into a file but instead pass each option on the command line
using '-o'.
I am trying to figure this out because I want to migrate lots of
mail from an old IMAP server to dovecot, and I'd like to preserve
the mailbox GUIDs and the message UIDs.

Hippogriff: An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half
griffin. The griffin was itself a compound creature, half lion and
half eagle. The hippogriff was actually, therefore, only one quarter
eagle, which is two dollars and fifty cents in gold. The study of
zoology is full of surprises.
