It looks like the access rights are not correctly preserved after a dsync

I have rwXr-X-- from my original folder (which is right)

I have rwXrwXrwX in the "mirrored" fodler (which is very wrong)

Not sure what cause this, but it looks like a bug

Have you figured it out? dsync (like Dovecot in general) anyway takes the permissions for new folders from the mail root directory. So if new folder is going to be in ~/Maildir/.foo/ and it doesn't exist, its permissions are taken from ~/Maildir. If ~/Maildir doesn't exist either, its permissions are set to 0700.
