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 ?

Gentlemen,
I guess my mistake was to use *-R* option, that works similar to *-1*
and your messages can get lost.
-R Do a reverse sync. Normally, messages would be pushed from
the local system to the destination (remote). This option reverses the
flow, and will
instead pull messages from the remote to the local storage.
doesn't say clearly that it works like a backup mode and data can be lost
