Hi!
I have a dovecot installation, with the following configuration: mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~
I would like to migrate the mail_location to maildir:~/mail, to get around the issues described in the documentation. But I can not really find a good way to do that. I played around with doveadm sync/backup, but I can only copy everything into a new location (i.e. doveadm sync maildir:~/mail), but this does not really untangle the mail_home and location. My other idea was to migrate the maildir manually, i.e. move the maildir related folders and files (new, cur, tmp, all folders starting with a dot and containing itself {new,cur,tmp}, dovecot.* files, subscriptions file) into the ~/mail folder, but I'm not sure if this is a safe method.
Is there any safe method to do this using dovecot tools? If the only way is a offline migration, I'm fine with that.
Best, Sebastian
