[Dovecot] dsync and compressed folders

[Giulio Casella]

I'm trying to migrate my old dovecot server (mbox based) to a new one (maildir 
based), both are version 2.0.13.
I'm using dsync:

oldserver# dsync -u username backup ssh root at newserver dsync -u username

Everything is working like a charm but when it tries to convert compressed 
folder I got an error:

dsync-local(username): Error: Failed to sync mailbox OldMails/2008.gz: Mailbox 
isn't a valid mbox file.

Both old and new installations support compressed folder via zlib plugin.

If I'm not wrong dsync doesn't support compressed folder, does it?

And, if so, are there any chances to have dsync support gzip'ed folders in the 
(near) future?

Many thanks in advance,
gc
