I'm trying to migrate an old Cyrus 2.5 server to Dovecot 2.3.19 using
doveadm backup -R, which works for all folders but the INBOX itself,
which always stays empty.
The Cyrus side uses altnamespace:no and unixhierarchysep:no, it's used
as imapc: remote in doveadm backup -R with imapc_list_prefix=INBOX
Dovecot uses the following namespace to migrate into:
namespace inboxes {
inbox = yes
location =
mailbox Sent {
auto = subscribe
special_use = \Sent
}
### some more folders omitted ###
prefix = INBOX/
separator = /
subscriptions = no
}
Hi!
When syncing mailboxes from other server, you should use migration config file,
which has **no** auto=subscribe or auto=create folders, as these can mess up
with synchronization.
Please see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/migrating_mailboxes/ for more
details.
Does a migration config file specified with doveadm -c <file> add to and
overwrite the existing Dovecot configuration for the time the command
runs, like the -o options, or do I need to start a separate server with
a full configuration to e.g. have my authentication and mailbox location
available?
