Hi Timo, here's the config, the sieve section is at the bottom. Also, note that due to upgrading Dovecot over the years, we have an odd "home" folder situtation, where it's actually IN the main maildir folder, rather than being its parent. [root@server5 ~]# doveconf -n # 2.4.0 (daeb6bc59c): /e

Re: Doveadm Backup Error

After spending several hours troubleshooting this, it seems like doveadm backup is broken somehow.  At least on my system. I can't even run doveadm backup -u user maildir:/dest on an empty target director without it throwing an error. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks, Asai On 2/15
