dovecot - Feb 2013 - Public folders and dsync replication Dovecot v2.1.7

Dear all

I have a few public folders setup and working fine, and one such public 
folder is 'Public/General'. I'm trying to sort dsync replication out
to
another server and notice that the system log is full of error messages 
similar to:

dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(username: Error: Can't update 
subscription Pu
blic/General: Invalid mailbox name

The replication setup is basically as per the v2 wiki.

It seems that when a mail client subscribes to a public folder, the 
folder name is put into '~/Maildir/subscriptions' and this seems to be 
the cause of the error during replication. The mails are not 
synchronised to the other server.

Public namespace is:

namespace {
   type = public
   separator = /
   prefix = Public/
   location = maildir:/home/shared/public
   subscriptions = no
   list = yes
}

Hopefully somebody can send the clue bus over?

Steve

I don't think v2.1 replication can handle public folders. Use v2.2.
