Hi,

played around with 'mdbox' format some more. Converted my personal mailbox with latest Dovecot and dsync from HG:

dsync convert -u login@yourdomain.com mdbox:~/mdbox

One thing I noticed is, that dsync does not take care of existing 'dovecot-acl' files, which it should migrate/copy from my point of view, but simply skips them. Anyway I copied over the ACLs manually and forgot to set the rights accordingly. So the files were owned by 'root:vmail' instead of 'vmail:vmail' in my setup. Voilà Dovecot crashed, where it should really throw a warning or ignore the owner and work with the group permissions:
