dsync migration from maildir layout=fs to maildir seperator / - folders or inbox but not both
Am attempting to bring my mailserver back to home server post house move and whilst I could use rsync have been trying to get to grips with dsync.
However, I seem to have an issue - my current server specifies mail_location as
maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs
and my imapc config on new server is as follows ...
imapc_host = old.mailserver.host imapc_user = %u imapc_master_user = master imapc_password = ********** imapc_features = $imapc_features rfc822.size fetch-headers imapc_list_prefix = INBOX imapc_port = 993 imapc_ssl = imaps imapc_ssl_verify = no
the trouble is if I leave
imapc_list_prefix = INBOX
I get the inbox only - no folders ... If I comment this out delete maildir on target and re-run .. I get the folders but no inbox but folders are in fs layout format rather than being converted to INBOX.folder.subfolder
bug perhaps ???? or am I doing something wrong ???
src dovecot version 2.0.9 tgt dovecot version 2.2.33.2
Any ideas would be appreciated ...

Sigh ... ok so had if statement in SQL land that appended LAYOUT=fs if Maildir which explains the non-converting folder layout but NOT why the process is not picking up the actual contents of INBOX ...

Try setting imapc_prefix=INBOX instead of imapc_list_prefix.

imapc_prefix doesnt appear to be a valid option any more ... just gets a config error .. on the otherhand updated the src dovecot to have an explicitly defined named space which does seem to be working ..
the namespace i created was pretty much default ie ..
namespace inbox { type = private separator = . prefix = INBOX. location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes }
but by doing this folders became INBOX.folder.subfolder instead of /Folder/subfolder so wondering if something in imapc does not like default namespace thats created and cant decide whats inbox/folders ...
