hello

I try to convert from mbox to mdbox using dsync i get the followin error using the following command

dsync mirror -u toto mbox:/user/toto:INBOX=/var/mail/toto

I get this error message :

mail3# dsync mirror -u toto mbox:/user/toto:INBOX=/var/mail/toto dsync(root): Fatal: execvp(-u) failed: No such file or directory dsync-local(root): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF

Have you tried

dsync -u toto mirror mbox:/user/toto:INBOX=/var/mail/toto

It seems better ;-) ... , but the process is stopped with the following message :

dsync(toto): Error: Failed to sync mailbox .dovecot.sieve: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file

The directory .dovecot.sieve is used by sieve and it seems dsync doesn't like it ...

Yeah, dsync works with mailboxes an messages, but not with any files of a other kind. Even when page is 'for virtual users', it explains what for the user's home directory is: http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home

Please store the sieve scripts in the user's home, not in it's mail_location.

OK I moved all mboxes into ~/mail directory and it runs well :-)

Thanks a lot !
