Mail migration problem

[Adam Raszkiewicz]

I’m trying to migrate mdbox to maildir based on https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat


  *   Modified dovecot.conf and set mail_location=maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/
  *   Then I had run

/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u user at domain.com<mailto:user at domain.com> mirror mdbox:/source/mailboxes/user at domain.com<mailto:/source/mailboxes/user at domain.com>

but that did nothing. Then I have


  *   Modified dovecot.conf and set mail_location=mdbox:/source/mailboxes
  *   Then I had run

/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u user at domain.com<mailto:user at domain.com> mirror mdbox:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/user at domain.com<mailto:/source/mailboxes/user at domain.com>

that copied over user at domain.com<mailto:user at domain.com> mailbox from the source to the destination location. As that was working I have tried to run


/mnt/testmail/bin/dsync -Dv -u user at domain.com<mailto:user at domain.com> mirror maildir:/tmp/destination/mailboxes/user at domain.com<mailto:/source/mailboxes/user at domain.com>

but that got an error:

dsync(user at domain.com): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/mnt/testmail/mailboxes
dsync(user at domain.com): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': Unknown mail storage driver maildir

First problem is that based on example #2 from above provided syntax in https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat is incorrect or for some reason is not working for me as it should for example #1.
Second issue is not recognizing maildir format – what about that? Docecot has some missing libraries?

Thanks,
Adam
