Hi.

When I run the backup I always get this error.

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

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.
