dovecot - Jul 2016 - doveadm feature request: move mailbox between users

A feature request for doveadm: move (or copy) mailboxes between users

Something like:

doveadm movemailbox -s User1 -d User2  Old/Mail/Box Destin/Ation/Path

(the same with copymailbox)


Or something like that is already possible?

You can do this with

See thread "Moving Maildir folders"

The problem is to prune and graft some branches of the [Maildir] folder 
structure between users.

For instance, when a user leaves an organization, some of their mailboxes must 
ne copied/moved to varius coleagues in order to ensure business continuity
