Well, judging by the error message it appears like dovecot hasn't been
compiled with support for maildir, which is strange because I don't see
any way to disable in the compile-time options.
Are you using the precompiled package from the distro or compiling
dovecot by yourself? Could you share the output of "dovecot
--build-options" and "dovecot --version"?
Thanks!

Hi German,
I have tried your way and getting the same error message:
dsync([email protected]): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=,
sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes
location=maildir:~/Maildir
dsync([email protected]): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace
'': Unknown mail storage driver maildir
Thoughts? Missing dovecot library, something in the configuration?
Thanks,
Adam

SUBJECT: Re: Mail migration problem
Hi Adam
Can you try: "doveadm sync -u <user> maildir:~/Maildir"
My mailboxes are in sdbox (I have "mail_location =
sdbox:~/sdbox:ALT=/mnt/archive/%u/sdbox") and after running that
command I managed to successfully migrate the user mailbox to maildir.
Also that is the command I used to migrate all my user's maildirs to
sdbox some time ago.
Regards

I'm trying to migrate mdbox to maildir based on

that copied over [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] mirror
maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/[email protected]
but that got an error:

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
