[Dovecot] Altmove doesn't working after a dsync.

[Breno Moreira]

Hi Charles,

Sorry for not providing this kind of info.

I'm using Dovecot 2.1.7 in a Debian Wheezy. The dovecot -n output is below:

# 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.0
auth_mechanisms = plain login
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
disable_plaintext_auth = no
lmtp_proxy = yes
mail_fsync = always
mail_gid = vmail
mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir
mail_plugins = " quota"
mail_uid = vmail
mmap_disable = yes
passdb {
  driver = pam
}
passdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
  driver = sql
}
plugin {
  quota = maildir:Quota
  sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_dir = ~/sieve
}
protocols = imap pop3 lmtp
service auth {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    mode = 0666
  }
  unix_listener auth-userdb {
    group = vmail
    mode = 0666
    user = vmail
  }
  user = root
}
service imap-login {
  service_count = 0
}
service lmtp {
  inet_listener lmtp {
    address = localhost mail0.supramail.com.br
    port = 7025
  }
}
service pop3-login {
  service_count = 0
}
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}
userdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
  driver = sql
}
protocol lmtp {
  mail_plugins = " quota sieve"
  postmaster_address = postmaster at mail0.supramail.com.br
}
protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota"
}
protocol pop3 {
  pop3_uidl_format = %v-%u
}

The commands that I'm using are:

 - dsync -Dv -u user mirror sdbox:~/sdbox:ALT=alternatestoragepath
