I have a situation where I need to migrate e-mails from Outlook 2011 (Mac) to Apple Mail. Having looked at all options, I have resorted to the, perhaps, most difficult way: Create folders on the IMAP server, copy e-mails into them from Outlook, connect Apple Mail and do the reverse. However, I have hit a wall.
I am running Dovecot 2.1.2 on FreeBSD, with mdbox storage.
In my first attempt, I have 1792 messages in the "Sent Items" folder for Outlook. I have tried (3 times) to copy the messages to the IMAP/Sent Items folder, but the process dies at some point. When that happens, Outlook

Well, this isn't good. The mdbox was empty when you first started copying the mails? This is a normal local FreeBSD filesystem (not NFS or something else weird)?
What happens if you now run:
doveadm force-resync -u wash@kictanet.or.ke INBOX
Does it show any errors? If not, and if you try to copy the mails again, does it still fail?
It's interesting if you can reproduce this. I wonder if it's because of FreeBSD or if it's related to single instance storage.
Ok. I have been able to reproduce it anyway.
Environment: Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Outlook 2010. I had 415 e-mails in the Inbox. While copying, Outlook popped up an error:
IMAP session state is inconsistent, please relogin. Protocol: IMAP Server: 192.168.40.252 Port: 143 Error Code: 0x800CCCDD
...and dovecot.log details at that time can be found here - http://196.200.26.114/~wash/dovecot.log.txt
And the output of the force-resync command is:
