Maildir doesn't allow INBOX to be deleted (because it's difficult), so this fails. Solution is to either not use Maildir format, or rm -rf Maildir manually before running dsync.

Hi Timo, hi all!
The problem is that I'm removing all .maildir/ folder before starting
dsync. This solution doesn't work for me. Do you think that only
migrating to e.g. mbox and then migrating from mbox to maildir is the
only way that can works?

Thanks,
Marcin
