dovecot - Jan 2019 - Moving messages between servers with different configurations

I wanted to move messages from a mbox mailbox on server A to mdbox on 
server B. I thought I could do this by connecting to the remote server 
with "doveadm move -S x.x.x.x:x -u testuser Archive/2017 mailbox 
INBOX/test" but I guess this will only allow and move messages 
internally on server B?
Should I use dsync, or is there another way to move the messages?

Hi,

doveadm [-Dv] move [-S socket_path] -u user
 destination [user
source_user] search_query

Moving all mails from mailbox INBOX/test on serverA to mailbox
Archive/2017 on local serverB.
 + destination Archive/2017 must exist
 + Limitation: source_user and testuser must share the same UID and GID

doveadm move -S x.x.x.x:x -u testuserAtServerB?
 Archive/2017 user source_userAtServerA mailbox INBOX/test ALL


Greetings
Martin Johannes Dauser

Hi Martin,

I feel a bit like an idiot, but I have been trying with copy, so I do 
not lose any message when testing. But I can't get them to copy. I do 
indeed have same uid and gid.


[@~]# doveadm mailbox status -S 192.168.10.43:542 -u testuser -t 
messages test
messages=43
[@~]# doveadm mailbox status -u testuser -t messages INBOX/test2
messages=16

[@~]# doveadm -v copy -S 192.168.10.43:542 -u testuser INBOX/test2 
mailbox test
[@~]#

[@~]# doveadm mailbox status -S 192.168.10.43:542 -u testuser -t 
messages test
messages=43
[@~]# doveadm mailbox status -u testuser -t messages INBOX/test2
messages=16 

Also tried with
doveadm -v copy -S 192.168.10.43:542 -u testuser INBOX/test2 user 
testuser mailbox test
