Hi, I'm planning to move all mailboxes from a Dovecot 2.2.10 server to a Dovecot 2.2.9 server. Dovecot is serving virtual users only. I'm not sure if I can use dsync for that. According to the Wiki [1] the command to mirror my own mailbox should look like dsync -u mine at michi.su mirror ssh -i my_ssh_key vmail at my-mailserver.com dsync -u mine at michi.su Where vmail is the user that is used by Dovecot to access mail_location. I assume the above command will only mirror the mailbox of user mine at michi.su, right? Is it possible to sync all mailboxes with just one single command? Is it possible to sync also all ACL lists and sieve scripts? Is using dsync the right way for my purpose? Thanks, Michael [1] http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync

Or: why not transfer the mailboxes, ACLs, scripts etc.pp. on file system level, e.g. using rsync? - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBU/12Unz1H7kL/d9rAQIWOAf+I4oL9e+JufmK08EmHJbTdZwkkZsZUHNI L1Ri4UQeMvz04ENDuCuYtuxME9b9wMsbdOFQ3IonpGU0txMh7QI3xLJ5+DZjyOUG 3GUx+fB96459oGEgcPXfTQdeI62HXx5jGFf5mXV+PxF71Ih1OpgTbfB1i/0v353B w0UQZON2kHvDcs6UQaatbq+uULrNZ1CAKwbG+wGWknVOKDGq60cu0kdja3rpqlZa NltX3i6CW/t9KUpYvjmReuhbHK+0Ggp1+RV/rjDBkrlqXoKPxxjOidxt8EWS3nif GaH/6zPlr08hAytQDsa87tBXmtcQSeMLPdD1BpnzobLBVHQUfc32Vw==0z4k -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
