[Dovecot] doveadm move from one user's mailbox to another user's mailbox?
Is something along the lines: doveadm move -u sourceuser destinationuser:/inbox search_query possible with 2.0.16?
I want to move mails from a backup mailbox (which has no valid password assigned) to a "restore" mailbox (which *HAS* a password assigned to it).

I guess:
doveadm import -u dest maildir:/source/Maildir "" search_query
There's no direct command to move mails between users. Or you could create a shared namespace..

Yes, just the other way round. It's even better, since the MOVE operation would have REMOVED the mails from the backup. IMPORT instead only copies what it needs.
