[Dovecot] Sync errors trying to sync old mbox inboxes to dovecot

[Michael Smith]

It shouldn't.  Part of the migration is to remove any existing dovecot mailbox for the user.  It does this by deleting the entire user's directory.

I just downloaded the file and checked.  Oops, looks like I grabbed the post dsync mirror file.

I've uploaded the correct file (pre dsync mirror).  Downloaded it and confirmed I'm getting the following error on dsync mirror.

dsync(webmail): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/webmail/inbox: seq=4482 uid=4482 uid_broken=0 originally needed 10 bytes, now needs 12 bytes

I can't reproduce with that file, dsync succeeds without errors. Maybe the problem requires something specific in the index files also?
