I just wanted to provide an update as the replication issues are now
resolved
i thanks you again for showing howto translate a GUID into a folder name
however that did not provide enough info to cause a resync
it turns out all you have to do is manually delete the offending folder
on the replica server and dovecot will resync immeditely
standard case of over thinking the issue.
hopes this helps someone else down the road when dsync throws reversal
errors.

Subject: 2.3 replication issue throwing errors
shows same error on both servers
Server 1 :
# sync [email protected]
doveadm([email protected])<90952><BJq9J2dHmGlIYwEA0dxyZQ>: Warning:
Mailbox
changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again: Remote lost
mailbox GUID f982a82747469869ea0f0100cf58dcff (maybe it was just
deleted?)
Server 2:
# sync [email protected]
doveadm([email protected])<90952><BJq9J2dHmGlIYwEA0dxyZQ>: Warning:
Mailbox
changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again: Remote lost
mailbox GUID f982a82747469869ea0f0100cf58dcff (maybe it was just
deleted?)
i am aware there is a mismatch on one of the servers but there does not
seem to be a clear cut way to find the offending file to delete it or
force a backwards sync ?
How would i identify what GUID f982a82747469869ea0f0100cf58dcff
means?
same on both servers.
doveadm force-resync -u [email protected] '*'
have tried reindex etc etc etc issue persists
logs ??

This command should at least tell you which mail folder exhibits the issue
# doveadm mailbox status -u "[email protected]" guid "*" | grep
f982a82747469869ea0f0100cf58dcff
Once you know the mailbox folder/name, look at the stats and drill down from
there. Let's say the folder name is 'Saved Notifications'
# doveadm mailbox status -u "[email protected]" all "Saved Notifications"
