I am trying to import mail from a maildir directory into dovecot using the 'doveadm import' command:

bash-4.0$ doveadm -D import -u marion maildir:${HOME}/Mail '' ALL .. What I get is

• no mails are imported
• no error messages are output
• nothing is written to the system log

in other words, nothing happens at all. Any hints?

I guess Dovecot doesn't think there are any mails in that maildir. What does "ls -la ${HOME}/Mail" say?

You can also check what Dovecot sees in there:

doveadm -o mail=maildir:${HOME}/Mail mailbox status messages '*'
