[Dovecot] Dsync only one mailbox

[Piotr Janusz]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to sync only selected files/mailbox'es using 
dsync.
Am I using the dsync -m option incorectly?
It looks like it's being ignored.
And as for the main INBOX (/var/mail/username) what should be the 
parameter for -m?

dovecot --version
2.1.7

dsync -u pj -D -v -m Alerts -o mail_location=mdbox:/home/pj/mdbox 
backup mbox:/home/pj/:INBOX=/var/mail/pj
