[Dovecot] Modifying mailbox GUIDs?
Greetings all,
I can view a mailbox's GUID like so: doveadm mailbox status -u guid
However, how may I *modify* a mailbox GUID? Can this be done using doveadm or some other tool?
If not, how may I go about modifying the dovecot.mailbox.log (where I assume GUID data is stored)?
My specific use case has to do with me wanting to modify an existing mailbox's GUID so that its messages are mirrored into a folder of the same name using "dsync mirror". (As we know, dsync utilizes GUIDs to determine mailbox uniqueness)
Thanks!

I see that the GUID is actually in readable text on the first line in "dovecot-uidlist". Is it really as simple as modifying the string here?

I guess you could do that.. In v2.2 the dsync is smarter and can change the GUID automatically when needed.
