Well, I tried that in several different ways, all without any success.
Let's assume the user is called jane and she has a subscription for the
shared mailbox doe I tried the following:

  doveadm sync -1 -R -u jane -m shared.doe imapc:

I also tried using the namespace switch:

  doveadm sync -1 -R -u jane -n shared imapc:

again no success.  The shared mailbox stays available and working but
the flags will not be synced to the state they had on the original
server.  I also tried it without -R but that didn't get me anywhere
either and should be wrong anyways AFAICT.

Any further ideas anyone or should I prepare our shared mailbox users
that all their email will be unread after migration?

Cheers,
