[Dovecot] sdbox to mdbox

[Joan Moreau]

Actually, the directory created by dsync contains correctly all the
folders of the original IMAP account. 

but they are empty ! (just one
file "dovecot.index.log" ) 

What do I do wrong ? 

Thanks again

change the mail location to the new directory in dovecot.conf. After
you've confirmed all the users' mail is safely in the new location you
can delete all the old mail folders/structure.
