[EXTERNAL] Re: Help with "doveadm" - Socket ?

[White, Daniel E. (GSFC-770.0)[NICS]]

A bit more detail:

I can do this:
# doveadm mailbox list -A
...
test_u Sent
test_u Trash
test_u Drafts
test_u public
test_u INBOX
...

But I cannot do this:
# doveadm mailbox status -A
doveadm mailbox status [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] [-t] <fields> <mailbox mask> [...]

I found this:
https://serverfault.com/questions/926034/do-i-need-a-dovecot-socket
that suggested:

Dovecot probably already listens in the sockets, this is a common configuration for dovecot. Try this command to verify.

ss -ntpl | grep -e :143 -e :993

I tried it and got 
# ss -ntpl | grep -e :143 -e :993 -e :995 
LISTEN     0      100       :::993     :::*      users:(("dovecot",2572,42))
LISTEN     0      100        *:993      *:*      users:(("dovecot",2572,41))
LISTEN     0      100       :::995     :::*      users:(("dovecot",2572,27))
LISTEN     0      100        *:995      *:*      users:(("dovecot",2572,26))
LISTEN     0      100       :::143     :::*      users:(("dovecot",2572,40))
LISTEN     0      100        *:143      *:*      users:(("dovecot",2572,39))

I found that /var/run/dovecot/doveadm-server is a socket
but adding it does not help.

# doveadm mailbox status -A -S /var/run/dovecot/doveadm-server
doveadm mailbox status [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] [-t] <fields> <mailbox mask> [...]

Am I missing something else ?

    It can also be a tcp socket. Maybe give us bit more insight on what you are dealing with?
