Is it possible? How do I do it for ALL mailboxes?

Could you kindly point me to the exact article in the wiki, please?

I saw that before but there is only maildir -> mdbox but not mdbox -> maildir

Did I have missed anything there?

Ok, so I have used my brain and came up with that:

• Created new directory and copied over original dovecot to that location as /tmp/destination
• Spawned that dovecot as dovecot-test
• Modified dovecot.conf and set mail_location=maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/
• Then I had run

/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -D -v -u user@domain.com mirror mdbox:/source/mailboxes/user@domain.com

based on description from there: https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat but first that doesn’t do anything (/tmp/destination/mailboxes is empty) and on another hand I don’t think so dsync is reading modified dovecot.conf as is not creating maildir format mailbox converted from mdbox format provided as the source location.

Thoughts?

There is no direct example on how to do just that but you can use your brain and modify the mbox -> maildir example a bit.
