I'm trying to migrate an old Cyrus 2.5 server to Dovecot 2.3.19 using doveadm backup -R, which works for all folders but the INBOX itself, which always stays empty.
The Cyrus side uses altnamespace:no and unixhierarchysep:no, it's used as imapc: remote in doveadm backup -R with imapc_list_prefix=INBOX
Dovecot uses the following namespace to migrate into:
namespace inboxes { inbox = yes location = mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } ### some more folders omitted ### prefix = INBOX/ separator = / subscriptions = no } Hi!
When syncing mailboxes from other server, you should use migration config file, which has **no** auto=subscribe or auto=create folders, as these can mess up with synchronization.
Please see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/migrating_mailboxes/ for more details.
Does a migration config file specified with doveadm -c <file> add to and overwrite the existing Dovecot configuration for the time the command runs, like the -o options, or do I need to start a separate server with a full configuration to e.g. have my authentication and mailbox location available?
