[Dovecot] dsync to move from 1.2 to 2.0
I'm not certain of the correct syntax for this - and I'm reluctant to risk my live data by experimenting. I've setup a 2.0.2 server on a virtual machine, and I want to copy a live account over to it for testing. Not that it should matter, but the 1.2 machine is using maildir and I want to give sdbox a try on 2.0.2.
I'm assuming (dangerous, I know) I should run dsync on the new 2.0.2 machine, and connect remotely to the 1.2. If it matters, my usernames are complete mail addresses, i.e. myname@mydomain.com, and are stored as /var/mail/domain/name/Maildir.
Does dsync perform an imap connection to the remote server to pull the mails? Or am I confusing this with imapsync?

No. It runs dsync on the remote server via ssh. So you need Dovecot v2.0 in both source and destination servers. But some day it could support IMAP access.
