This pulls over the whole test mailbox, but I need it to be stored in a different mailbox, of course that is now possible to move from the local test to the local INBOX/test2. But then I might aswell scp the mbox in the first place.
Should we conclude that it is not possible with a single doveadm command to move messages from RemoteServerA/usertest/mailboxA/messagesof2017 to LocalServerB/usertest/mailboxX/ ?
