Hi all,

I'm running two debian machines with dovecot 2.0.9 autobuilds and would like
to keep mails synchronized on both via dsync.
Mails are kept in maildir on both sides.
While syncing, dsync gives the following error:

dsync-local(jan.binder): Error: Can't rename mailbox INBOX to INBOX_a432bf2eca595a4dba47000043b078f4: Renaming INBOX isn't supported.
dsync-local(jan.binder): Error: Can't rename mailbox INBOX_e184273887675a4dcc5b00000c16d079 to INBOX: Target mailbox already exists

Further diagnostic information:
dsync command:
dsync -D -v -f mirror ssh jan.binder at firefly.local dsync

dovecot -n on firefly.local:
# 2.0.9 (159605040ec0): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

managesieve_notify_capability = mailto

passdb {

}

passdb {

}
plugin {
  sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_dir = ~/sieve
}
protocols = imap lmtp
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}

Should this usage of dsync work in principle?

Best regards,
Jan Binder
