After much trial and error and following Timos advice, I managed to get
a sync to at least start and it lists folders, then it starts spamming
this:
dsync(alantestuser at whatever.com): Error:
safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.doveadm.) failed: No such file or directory
dsync(alantestuser at whatever.com): Error:
safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.doveadm.) failed: No such file or directory
dsync(alantestuser at whatever.com): Error:
safe_mkstemp(/tmp/dovecot.doveadm.) failed: No such file or directory
...
/tmp/dovecot.doveadm. does indeed not exist but I can't find any
reference to it online or in the docs,
Any ideas?
