Hi.
I tried to copy a mailbox on the same server from src-account1 to dest-account2 and tried to follow this page
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/migrating_mailboxes/
I have tried to get this command running via IMAP but sadly I was not able to bring it up and running. doveadm -D backup -u src-account1 -R dest-account2
This was working but only for INBOX, is there a option to copy the src-account1 recursively?
doveadm -D copy -u dest-account2 INBOX user src-account1
Please can anybody recommend a command to copy recursively mails from one mailbox to another on the same server.

Finally I have used imapsync because even the doveadm sync -1 have expunged
the mails on the source account. Maybe I have missued the doveadm tool
therefore I would be thankful to learn how to migrate a mailbox with doveadm
without the source is deleted.
imapsync --host1 localhost --user1 src-account1 \
--password1 PASS --ssl1 \
--host2 localhost --user2 dest-account2 \
--password2 PASS --ssl2 \
--exclude Shared
From what I have understood in the doc should doveadm backup and doveadm sync not delete any mails on the source, right?
