2.2.18: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted.
Hello
I have 2.2.18 built with:
./configure
--prefix="$prefix"
--bindir="$prefix/bin"
--sbindir="$prefix/bin"
--sysconfdir="/etc"
--with-storages="maildir,imapc,pop3c"
--without-vpopmail
--without-ldap
I'm attempting to sync (backup) from another Dovecot server running version 2.0.21:
Both servers don't have no explicit namespaces configured and both are using the Maildir storage plugin.
doveadm -Dv -o imapc_user=remote_user -o imapc_host=source.host -o imapc_port=993 -o imapc_ssl=imaps -o imapc_password=remote_pass -o imapc_features="rfc822.size fetch-headers" backup -R -u local_user imapc:
All seems to go well, showing local and remote mailbox syncing without errors, then finally:
dsync(mcg): Debug: brain M: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX' (GUID 59023c2a911dc255842b0000d09efc50): UIDVALIDITY changed (1355416734 -> 1438784913) dsync(mcg): Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted.
No mail is synced to the local server (2.2.18) after this error halts execution.
What should I be looking for, in terms of possible causes of this error?
I've tried syncing on a completely fresh mailbox, which hasn't been accessed by a mail client and the same error occurs.
I've seen similar reports of this error before, without clear solutions / suggestions.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hello
Could my previously reported error above have something to do with the IMAP path prefix? It's not configured on either of the previously mentioned servers.
I see a similar error, which may be related, when trying to sync using offlineimap.py:
Folder INBOX [acc: test_account]: ERROR: ERROR in syncfolder for test_account folder INBOX
Thanks Dale

Hello
An update: I managed to sync mailboxes between the 2 servers using imapsync, which worked perfectly.
I suspect there's a bug lurking in the imapc code, because why would an external utility work flawlessly with 2 dovecot servers, but dovecot's own syncing client won't?
Regards Dale
