I'm trying to convert from an old Dovecot (1.0.15) and mbox to a new Dovecot and maildir. I'm running into several problems with dsync which are causing my mboxes not to convert.
If I use LAYOUT=fs (as I'd prefer) I get an error because I have a mailbox called "subscriptions", and none of my messages convert. Is there a way to get dovecot to put its own metadata in dotfiles instead?
(I guess I can rename my mailbox too :-)
OK, I found in the source code that I can use SUBSCRIPTIONS=... to fix this, although oddly enough I don't see a file being created now. (This might be documented in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation or http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir...)
So now I get the same crash as before with LAYOUT=fs, and my mail_location:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir/INBOX:LAYOUT=fs:CONTROL=~/Maildir/.dove cot:SUBSCRIPTIONS=~/Maildir/.subscriptions
