I try to setup for our mailserver (in a dc) a job backup to a secondary server 
(in our office) with "doveadm backup" via the -R option. (rsync , rsnapshot and 
so on tooks too long at the moment)

For the most user accounts all work as expected, but for three users it always 
fails 

First run:
/usr/bin/doveadm -Dv backup -Ru user1 tcp:mua01.domain.intra:12345

> INBOX: Mailbox opened because: copy caching decisions

So it aborts on the lines above and a incomplete maildir is on the local 
server. so the next doveadm try say's that he can't delete INBOX , etc.

This a very old account on our server which was migrated over different 
iterations of our dovecot mailserver. The user behind the account uses outlook 
over years. 
Is the space here a problem? 

Another user with a similiar issue has the following error message at the end:

> Dec 01 09:22:14 doveadm(user2)<70354><RU12FsWlaWXSEgEAy5X8iQ>: Debug: Mailbox 
> INBOX: Mailbox opened because: copy caching decisions
> Dec 01 09:22:56 doveadm(user2)<70354><RU12FsWlaWXSEgEAy5X8iQ>: Error: 
> read(mua01.domain.intra) failed: EOF (last sent=mailbox, last recv=mailbox)
> Dec 01 09:22:56 doveadm(70354): Debug: auth-master: conn 
> unix:/run/dovecot/auth-userdb (pid=661,uid=0): Disconnected: Connection 
> closed (fd=9)

I see that the user has a very big inbox? when i check in the source server in 
the "cur" folder of the INBOX it count's around 269372 mails.  Is this perhaps 
the issue for this message?

And on the last user it looks like:

Dec 01 09:25:19 doveadm(user3)<70376><UoiQAHWmaWXoEgEAy5X8iQ>: Warning: 
Deleting mailbox 'Entwürfe': UID=1265 
GUID=1521832311.M6830P7652.mail-mx1.intra,S=1764,W=1809 is missing locally
Dec 01 09:25:19 doveadm(user3)<70376><UoiQAHWmaWXoEgEAy5X8iQ>: Debug: brain M:

result=Reverting local change by deleting mailbox - No more local mails found
Dec 01 09:25:19 doveadm(70376): Debug: brain M: Import Entwürfe: Saved UIDs:

unix:/run/dovecot/auth-userdb (pid=661,uid=0): Disconnected: Connection closed 
(fd=9)

The "Entwürfe" folder directly cannot be the issue? On the filesystem the 
folder has the name ".Entw&APw-rfe" and also other users has similar folders in 
their mailboxes.

The source server has dovecot version 2.2.36 (centos 7.9.2009) and the current 
destination server dovecot version 2.3.16 (ubuntu 22.04 lts)
