Hi all,

problem with namespace is solved (it's good to restart dovecot after 
changes in config, ehm) but now I have another strange problem. I moved 
mails from mbox to maildir with command above (with -f and -D added) but 
in some cases there are not inboxes. There were ntransfered. How can I 
solve it? I'm trying it again and have these messages:

Another boxes are moved correctly. I will be happy for any hint.

Thank you.
