doveadm sync: Both source and destination mail_path and mail_index_path point to same directory

Hi everyone,

When I'm trying to synchronise my e-mails from a backup with doveadm sync, I get an error.

Doveadmin sync command:

doveadm -D sync -1 -f -a "Virtual/All" -R -u user@example.net -n inbox mdbox:/var/spool/mail/example.net/user_backup

Error message:

dsync: Error: cmd sync: Both source and destination mail_path and mail_index_path point to same directory: /var/spool/mail/example.net/user//mail/mailboxes (name space inbox { mail_path } is set explicitly?)

Relevant config section:

namespace inbox { separator = / inbox = yes

  # "home" is set in userdb mail_path = %{home}/mail mail_index_path = %{home}/index/inbox

  mailbox ... { ... } mailbox ... { ... } } mail_driver = mdbox

According to the config, the two directories are explicitly set to be different. I verified and they exist and they are not symlinks. Do you know what causes this issue?

Version: 2.4.2

Thank you,

Ákos
