Well, judging by the error message it appears like dovecot hasn't been compiled with support for maildir, which is strange because I don't see any way to disable in the compile-time options.
Are you using the precompiled package from the distro or compiling dovecot by yourself? Could you share the output of "dovecot --build-options" and "dovecot --version"?
Thanks!

Hi German,
I have tried your way and getting the same error message:
dsync(user@domain.com): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir
dsync(user@domain.com): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': Unknown mail storage driver maildir
Thoughts? Missing dovecot library, something in the configuration?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam
Can you try: "doveadm sync -u <user> maildir:~/Maildir"
My mailboxes are in sdbox (I have "mail_location = sdbox:~/sdbox:ALT=/mnt/archive/%u/sdbox") and after running that command I managed to successfully migrate the user mailbox to maildir. Also that is the command I used to migrate all my user's maildirs to sdbox some time ago.

I'm trying to migrate mdbox to maildir based on https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat
- Modified dovecot.conf and set mail_location=maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/

/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u user@domain.com mirror mdbox:/source/mailboxes/user@domain.com
but that did nothing. Then I have
- Modified dovecot.conf and set mail_location=mdbox:/source/mailboxes
- Then I had run
/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u user@domain.com mirror mdbox:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/user@domain.com
that copied over user@domain.com mailbox from the source to the destination location. As that was working I have tried to run
/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u user@domain.com mirror maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/user@domain.com
but that got an error:
dsync(user@domain.com): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/mnt/testmail/mailboxes
dsync(user@domain.com): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': Unknown mail storage driver maildir
First problem is that based on example #2 from above provided syntax in https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat is incorrect or for some reason is not working for me as it should for example #1.
Second issue is not recognizing maildir format - what about that? Docecot has some missing libraries?
Thanks,
Adam
