Hi,
not easily. You can always limit dsync to a single folder with -m folder, but then again it's designed to make 1:1 copy so you would need to rename the synced folder afterwards.

This pulls over the whole test mailbox, but I need it to be stored in a different mailbox, of course that is now possible to move from the local test to the local INBOX/test2. But then I might aswell scp the mbox in the first place.
Should we conclude that it is not possible with a single doveadm command to move messages from RemoteServerA/usertest/mailboxA/messagesof2017 to LocalServerB/usertest/mailboxX/ ?
[@~]# doveadm mailbox list -u testuser Drafts Junk Trash INBOX/test2 INBOX/test3 Sent Archive Archive/Archive Archive/2019old INBOX [@~]# doveadm backup -u testuser -R -m test tcp:192.168.10.43:542 [@~]# doveadm mailbox list -u testuser Drafts Junk Trash INBOX/test2 INBOX/test3 Sent test <--- new! Archive Archive/Archive Archive/2019old INBOX
try running this on the NEW dovecot server:
doveadm backup -u uid -R tcp:192.168.10.43:542
to pull the messages from old server.
I feel a bit like an idiot, but I have been trying with copy, so I do not lose any message when testing. But I can't get them to copy. I do indeed have same uid and gid.
[@~]# doveadm mailbox status -S 192.168.10.43:542 -u testuser -t messages test messages=43 [@~]# doveadm mailbox status -u testuser -t messages INBOX/test2 messages=16

[@~]# doveadm mailbox status -S 192.168.10.43:542 -u testuser -t messages test messages=43 [@~]# doveadm mailbox status -u testuser -t messages INBOX/test2 messages=16
Also tried with doveadm -v copy -S 192.168.10.43:542 -u testuser INBOX/test2 user testuser mailbox test
doveadm [-Dv] move [-S socket_path] -u user destination [user source_user] search_query
Moving all mails from mailbox INBOX/test on serverA to mailbox Archive/2017 on local serverB.
- destination Archive/2017 must exist
- Limitation: source_user and testuser must share the same UID and GID
doveadm move -S x.x.x.x:x -u testuserAtServerB Archive/2017 user source_userAtServerA mailbox INBOX/test ALL
I wanted to move messages from a mbox mailbox on server A to mdbox on server B. I thought I could do this by connecting to the remote server with "doveadm move -S x.x.x.x:x -u testuser Archive/2017 mailbox INBOX/test" but I guess this will only allow and move messages internally on server B? Should I use dsync, or is there another way to move the messages?
