dovecot - Dec 2012 - dsync: error with hierarchy separator

Hi list!

I have a problem with transfering mails from mbox to maildir format. On
dovecot wiki I found a dsync tool, which looks good, but returns me an
error:

# dsync -u mail at example.com mirror mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/virtuser_808
dsync(root): Fatal: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox
hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace)

I found a solution with namespaces, but it doesn't work for me, there is
still same error - I tried to add "-o separator=/" as option or add it
to config file as mentioned there [1]. Can you push me to any solution?

My dovecot -n:

# 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

}

}

Hi all,

problem with namespace is solved (it's good to restart dovecot after 
changes in config, ehm) but now I have another strange problem. I moved 
mails from mbox to maildir with command above (with -f and -D added) but 
in some cases there are not inboxes. There were ntransfered. How can I 
solve it? I'm trying it again and have these messages:

Another boxes are moved correctly. I will be happy for any hint.

Thank you.
