Hi Adam Can you try: "doveadm sync -u <user> maildir:~/Maildir" My mailboxes are in sdbox (I have "mail_location sdbox:~/sdbox:ALT=/mnt/archive/%u/sdbox") and after running that command I managed to successfully migrate the user mailbox to maildir. Also that is the command I used to migrate all my user's maildirs to sdbox some time ago. Regards --- Germ?n Herrera Responsable de IT Ingenier?a SES Sistemas Electr?nicos S.A.

Well, judging by the error message it appears like dovecot hasn't been compiled with support for maildir, which is strange because I don't see any way to disable in the compile-time options. Are you using the precompiled package from the distro or compiling dovecot by yourself? Could you share the output of "dovecot --build-options" and "dovecot --version"? Thanks!

At that point my question is if I can run another dovecot build on the same box?
I knew I can run the same instance but as is this a custom build I want to have
something generic just to use for migration purposes.
Thanks,
Adam

Are you using the precompiled package from the distro or compiling
dovecot by yourself? Could you share the output of "dovecot
--build-options" and "dovecot --version"?
Thanks!
