    Hello,
    I am trying to merge(=copy) all mails of all user mailboxes into
      one mailbox for one-time archival purposes.
    The command I am using is
     sudo doveadm -v copy -A archive at somedomain.net ALL
    

    
    The error I get for every mailbox is:

    
    doveadm(someuser1 at somedomain.net): Error: Can't open mailbox
      'a at somedomain.net': Mailbox doesn't exist: archive at somedomain.net
    doveadm(someuser2 at somedomain.net): Error: Can't open mailbox
      'a at somedomain.net': Mailbox doesn't exist: archive at somedomain.net
    [etc...]

    
    I don't exactly understand why. I think I am don't understand the
      'destination' parameter correctly, so somebody can enlighten me,
      please?
    Thank you
    

    
    Carsten
