Hi, We're in the process of migrating our dovecot 1.x mail server to a Dovecot 2.2.25 server. During the migration I'm moving from mbox storage to mdbox. I use the following method to do a one-way sync from our current mail server to our new mail server (command executed on the new server): doveadm -v -o imapc_host=oldserver \ -o imapc_user=$u \ -o imapc_master_user=$masteruser \ -o imapc_password="$masterpass" \ -o imapc_port=993 -o imapc_ssl=imaps \ -o ssl_client_ca_file=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt \ -o imapc_ssl_verify=yes \ -o mail_fsync=never \ -o mail_prefetch_count=20 \ backup -R -u $u imapc: $u is replaced by the username I'm migrating. The dsync command runs and exits with code 0 (all OK). However, when I look at the subscriptions file on the new server, there seem to be additional subscriptions that are not in the subscriptions file on the old server: 7b0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca 7c0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca 7d0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca 7e0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca 7f0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca 800d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca Where do these come from? Is something wrong with the migration? It also seems that subscriptions for IMAP folders that only contain subfolders[1] are no longer present in the new subscriptions file: # diff -u sub-old.sorted sub-new.sorted --- sub-old.sorted 2016-10-11 13:42:44.175070610 +0200 +++ sub-new.sorted 2016-10-11 13:47:53.973888462 +0200 @@ -1,26 +1,26 @@ -Archive/Administration/ +7b0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca +7c0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca +7d0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca +7e0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca +7f0d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca +800d681945d0fc5711560000ffff90ca Archive/Administration/Conferences Archive/Announcements -Archive/Education/ Archive/Education/E02N3A Archive/Education/I0D51A Archive/Politics -Archive/Research/ -Archive/Research/FET/ Archive/Research/FET/VPH - Virtual Physiological Human Archive/Research/Grants/ICON IBBT Call 2011 Archive/Research/Grants/Marie Curie ITN 2011 Archive/Research/Grants/Odysseus Archive/Research/Grants/SymBioSysII/Funding Archive/Research/Grants/SymBioSysII/JobApplications -Archive/Research/Manuscripts/ Archive/Research/Manuscripts/ruby-ensembl-api Archive/Research/Projects/GUNZ Archive/Research/Projects/MIQAS Archive/Research/Projects/MODY Archive/Research/Projects/ruby-ensembl-api Archives -Archive/Service/ Archive/Service/EditorORC Archive/Service/Reviewing Deleted Messages Is this expected behaviour? Regards, Rik [1] On the old server a folder can only contain either messages or subfolders, not both at the same time. -- Rik Theys System Engineer KU Leuven - Dept.
