Our office had a user leave. Another user is taking over her duties and needs reference to the departing user's email. I've copied that entire departed user's Maildir structure to the current user:
mv olduser/Maildir/.* curuser/Maildir/.olduser
I did change permission and ownership on curuser/Maildir/.olduser to be the target user. I did not bring over the olduser/Maildir/dovecot* files (indexes, subscriptions, etc.) as I thought that would be bad.
Maildir has no nested folders.
If you want a subtree structure in maildir you must create each folder at the first level
in the new user you must have something like:
.olduser.INBOX .olduser.Sent .olduser.Trash .olduser.Drafts .olduser.whatever
Each directory with tmp, newm cur subdirs only (ad dovecot files, of course)
