I’m trying to migrate mdbox to maildir based on 
https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat


  *   Modified dovecot.conf and set 
mail_location=maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/
  *   Then I had run

/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> mirror 
mdbox:/source/mailboxes/[email protected]<mailto:/source/mailboxes/[email protected]>

but that did nothing. Then I have


  *   Modified dovecot.conf and set mail_location=mdbox:/source/mailboxes
  *   Then I had run

/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> mirror 
mdbox:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/[email protected]<mailto:/source/mailboxes/[email protected]>

that copied over [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> mailbox from the 
source to the destination location. As that was working I have tried to run


/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> mirror 
maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/[email protected]<mailto:/source/mailboxes/[email protected]>

but that got an error:

dsync([email protected]): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, 
inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes 
location=maildir:/mnt/testmail/mailboxes
dsync([email protected]): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': 
Unknown mail storage driver maildir

First problem is that based on example #2 from above provided syntax in 
https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat is incorrect or for some reason 
is not working for me as it should for example #1.
Second issue is not recognizing maildir format – what about that? Docecot has 
some missing libraries?

Thanks,
Adam
