I am just trying to do that now (just testing so far).

Using this command ($1 is substituted for the user):
dsync -u $1 -o "mail_location=maildir:/data/mail/$1/mdir" mirror 
"mdbox:/data/mail/$1/mdbox"

After having learned that I need to create the destination directory 
first, I got this error:
dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox 
hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace)

Which I am afraid does not help me much - tried to set separator to '.' 
in namespace but that only ended in lda/deliver refusing to deliver 
mail. :-(

Thanks in advance!
Kim
