True true... although from my point of view its hard not to be tempted 
to use rsync or something else that I know.  But as I said to a previous 
respondent, I'm keen to get to know (and hopefully love) my new dovecot 
install !

I'm on an Ubuntu LTS release so the dovecot came from their release. I'd 
prefer to stay that way unless I really have to...especially if the only 
reason for doing so is to fix Dsync. 2.0.19 seems to otherwise working 
ok !  Maybe I'll have a look through the release notes on a rainy day !

Hmmm... I think I tried that at some point, I think that was when the 
problem might have morphed into ...

dsync(its-virtmail): Error: user test at somewhere.example.com: 
Initialization failed: mail_location not set and autodetection failed: 
Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/srv/mail/example.com/test
dsync(its-virtmail): Fatal: User init failed
dsync-local(test at somewhere.example.com): Error: read() from worker 
server failed: EOF

But I'll give it another go tomorrow.
