[Dovecot] Using DSync to convert from maildir to m/sdbox during migration of mail to new server

Ok, now to work out the precise method (config for the target server and dsync command) to use to perform the migration from the old server to the new one, converting to dbox (s or m, depending on how the other thread discussing this turns out).

I'll update the old server to 2.2.10 tomorrow morning so they're both at the same version.

So, assuming both servers are running 2.2.10, with

OldServer: mail_location = maildir:~/:INDEX=MEMORY

and

NewServer: mail_location = sdbox:~/sdbox or mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox

After reading and re-reading:

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync

I'm not so sure...

First problem - apparently it can only be used one user at a time? And - do you have to actually know the users password too?

If so, then this probably isn't going to be easier, and maybe even harder than just rsyncing everything, then slowly converting each user one at a time.
