Hello. I have an email server for testing purposes, using postfix 3.5.17 and dovecot 2.3.13.
Initially, I configured postfix to use mailboxes, but now I've changed it to maildir.
Emails arrive fine, and dovecot manages them well by pop3 or imap. No problems there.
But I still have a lot of emails in different mailboxes which I'd like to convert to maildir.
I found mb2md, which seems to do a pretty good job. Once the mailbox is converted, dovecot manages the emails without a problem.
But I also wanted to learn how to use doveadm to convert mailboxes to maildir format.
I read all the documentation I could find and tried to learn how this command works. I tried different combinations, but couldn't convert mailboxes to maildir. I always get error messages. I've been unable to understand why.
I tried to sync, backup, and import, to no avail. I also tried dsync, which seems to have a different syntax, with the same result.
Sorry for bothering you, but if you could explain to me how this command works, I'd be very grateful.
Example: I have a user, let's say joe, who has a mailbox in /var/mail/joe and I'd like to transfer those emails to /home/joe/Maildir
How do I use doveadm in this situation?
Best regards
Kenneth
