Hi list!

I have a problem with transfering mails from mbox to maildir format. On
dovecot wiki I found a dsync tool, which looks good, but returns me an
error:

# dsync -u mail at example.com mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/virtuser_808
dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox
hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace)

I found a solution with namespaces, but it doesn't work for me, there is
still same error - I tried to add "-o separator=/" as option or add it
to config file as mentioned there [1]. Can you push me to any solution?

My dovecot -n:

# 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.3 (Final)
