WOW! - amazing quickly, I'm really grateful.
I was using: -u tovis imapc: nusi but still something wrong.
Patstebin: https://pastebin.com/tH4wzJka
The most relevant part (I think) is:
dsync-local(tovis)<rAJmCUTTkV0IBAAAVty4BQ>: Error: read(remote) failed:
EOF (version not received)
doveadm(tovis): Fatal: execvp(imapc:) failed: No such file or directory
What I have missed (doveadm trying to execute something but what).
Any suggestion?
Sincerely
