[Dovecot] dsync warning/error - mailbox needs recreation
What does this mean? These lines occur on subsequent runs of "dsync -u user backup target" dsync(dmiller at amfes.com): Warning: Destination mailbox INBOX has been modified, need to recreate it before we can continue syncing dsync(dmiller at amfes.com): Error: Can't delete mailbox INBOX: INBOX can't be deleted. -- Daniel

For all non-INBOXes it would delete the mailbox and resync it. But INBOX can't be deleted.. As for why the GUID changed, I don't know. Maybe you deleted some file manually in the destination? Or maybe some bug.
