[Dovecot] some mdbox mails get lost each day

Hi,

>> doveadm -Dv import -u foo.bar at example.com mdbox:/srv/mail/foo.bar at example.com-backup all-mails ALL

I find that strange, either :-)

I have done:

tree
.
├── Drafts
│   └── dbox-Mails
│       └── dovecot.index.log
├── Gel&APY-schte Elemente
│   └── dbox-Mails
│       ├── dovecot.index.cache
│       └── dovecot.index.log
├── Gesendete Elemente
│   └── dbox-Mails
│       ├── dovecot.index

│       └── dovecot.index.log
├── INBOX
│   └── dbox-Mails
│       ├── dovecot.index
│       ├── dovecot.index.backup
│       ├── dovecot.index.cache
│       └── dovecot.index.log
├── Junk
│   └── dbox-Mails
│       └── dovecot.index.log
├── Junk-E-Mail
│   └── dbox-Mails
│       └── dovecot.index.log
├── Sent
│   └── dbox-Mails
│       └── dovecot.index.log
└── Trash
    └── dbox-Mails
        └── dovecot.index.log

16 directories, 15 files

So at least I should see a folder called all-mail, don't I?

If nothing helps, I create a new user called foo.bar at example.com-backup and ask the customer to include that account as well just for importing stuff, he still needs.

On the perspective of being a developer, too, I am interested why this does not work. So if you like to dig deeper into this, I gonna help you as much as I can.
