That worked fine on our last system, but dovecot doesn't like it.
It leaves the imap indices for the export mailbox in an inconsistent state, so that roundcube (through dovecot) refuses to drop messages into it. The error message roundcube emits is:ServerError: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file.
You change the "export" mbox to be one byte size containing LF. It should instead be completely zero size
that was it. Changed the script that does the move to use
cat >~me/mail/export <<EOD EOD
and then the mailbox is usable.
Thanks!
