[Dovecot] Converting from Maildir to dbox
Hi,
How do i convert from Maildir to dbox using the convert plugin?
My users reside in /home/user/Maildir.
In the dovecot.conf file i've set up
convert_mail = dbox:%h
but I am not sure about the syntax. Im getting the error:
Couldn't create mailbox directory INBOX Mailbox conversion failed, exiting
Thanks

mail_location = dbox:~/dbox .. convert_mail = maildir:~/Maildir
Note that it'll rename files from maildir to dbox. Also although I've done a lot of stress testing with dbox already, I don't know if it's been in any real use yet. Backups would be a good idea.
Oh, and I hope you're using 1.1.betas, don't even try to use v1.0's dbox code.
