Hello,
I know maildir format does not allow to delete INBOX as stated in
https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-January/102988.html. Nevertheless,
even though I deleted the entire Maildir manually with rm -rf, doveadm
backup fails with "Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed:
INBOX can't be deleted".
I would like to make a user's maildir backup to a different folder. For
example:
rm -rf /tmp/zbbb/; doveadm backup -u [email protected]
maildir:/tmp/zbbb/
But I keep receiving this error message: Error: Mailbox INBOX sync:
mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted
Do you know what might be causing this problem?
If I use sdbox instead of maildir, the backup works:
rm -rf /tmp/zbbb/; doveadm backup -u [email protected]
sdbox:/tmp/zbbb/
However, I would like to use maildir format for the backup as all my
mailboxes use this format.
Regards,
