Gents,

I'm relocating mailboxes to a new server.
Before switching over to a new server I ran syncing a few times without 
any issues

first I sync files with rsync from the old server to have a local copy, 
then I sync mailboxes with dsync

/usr/bin/doveadm -Dv sync -u $MBOX -R 
"sdbox:/srv/vmail/temp/srv/srv.bgoperator.ru/${MBOX}:DIRNAME=DbOx-mAiLs"


After switching over smtp transport and running dsync as above a few 
mailboxes were deleted

dsync(xxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=1 already exists 
locally for a different mail: GUIDs don't match 
(c005a206e1c6e756f02700003a8929e2 vs 0ba1c03796f5dc524c6d0000b4ca29ec)
dsync(xxxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=8855 
GUID=80d5841f0fe2e35677630000b4ca29ec is missing locally
dsync(xxxxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=7508 already exists 
locally for a different mail: GUIDs don't match

dsync(xxxxxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=8238 
GUID=2a6a803bd33fe156f85e0000b4ca29ec is missing locally

and a few other mailboxes seemed to fail to sync

dsync(xxxxxxx): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want 
to run dsync again.


Is it a bug or I am doing something wrong ?
