First of all, I realized I suggested "courier" support, when I'm actually
using "dovecot". Sorry for that, I'm not sure how I made that mistake.
I recreated the issue on a VM by creating two Maildirs. I pointed dovecot at
~/Mail and mbsync's localstore at ~/OtherMail. I saved a message in mailbox
"foo" using dovecot, which created ~/Mail/.foo/{cur,new,tmp}. Then, I used
mbsync to perform a synchronization, which created
~/OtherMail/foo/{cur,new,tmp}.
In my real use case, ~/OtherMail is on another machine that should support
IMAP as well, but dovecot doesn't see ~/OtherMail/foo. If I swap mentions of
~/Mail and ~/OtherMail in the relevant configuration files, mbsync fails to
synchronize.
My full recipe for reproducing the issue is below (including the requested
output from "mbsync -l -Dn -a"), and my .mbsyncrc is attached. Please let me
know if I can provide any additional information.
===========================================
1. Spin up Debian 8.6 VM named mbsynctest
2. Install mutt, dovecot-imapd, bsd-mailx
3. Install self-built isync from git 167964933f42d32f1cc2a119453e71c5048e86e2
+ Guillem's patch 0002
4. Configure dovecot for maildir (in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf):
mail_location = maildir:~/Mail
5. mkdir Mail OtherMail
6. Send myself a test mail:
echo Test | mail -s Test debian@localhost
7. Configure mutt for IMAP. Create .muttrc containing:
set tunnel="MAIL=maildir:~/Mail /usr/lib/dovecot/imap 2>/dev/null"
set folder="imap://localhost/"
8. Use mutt to save the message from my spool to =foo (Creating the mailbox
via IMAP)
9. $ ls -a Mail/
. .. dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.57f7f165 .foo
10. Create minimal(?) .mbsyncrc (attached)
11. mbsync -l -Dn -a
