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 '':

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?
Does your mail user have write access for this directory?
