Hi.

When I run the backup I always get this error.

[root@mail.DOMAIN.com:~]# doveadm -o mail_fsync=never backup -D -R -u
office@DOMAIN.com imapc:

dsync(office@DOMAIN.com): Info: imapc(imap.mailbox.org:993): Connected to

dsync(office@DOMAIN.com): Info: Mailbox deleted: Drafts

dsync(office@DOMAIN.com): Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed:
INBOX can't be deleted.

The suggested solution from this mail works, but is this still the best solution for the error above?

With Maildir yes. Doveadm refuses to delete INBOX.

Okay and with mdbox also? https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat

Isn't the dbox format the preferred one for long term dovecot usage?

Do the mdbox support also Shared mailboxes, I assume yes as the solution is based on dovecot's acl. https://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared
