Convert standalone mbox to standalone Maildir with Dsync - hierarchy separator error

Dear Dovecot users/devs,

I have the following mbox file:

    /tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September

I would like to convert it to a Maildir:

    /tmp/dsync_test/maildir

(Currently, the latter is just an empty directory.)

I am attempting this on an old PC running Debian 9 ("Stretch").  I
installed the dovecot-core package in order to make the `dsync` tool
available on that PC.  I have not otherwise done anything with Dovecot
on that PC; for instance, I have not created or edited any Dovecot
config files.  `man dsync` gives the Dovecot version as 2.2.

Inspired by the man page and the Dovecot wiki, here was my first attempt
to perform the conversion.  (I have added newlines between each line of
the output, for readability.)

As you can see, it ends with "Error: Mail locations must use the same
virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default
namespace)".

So, I tried specifying a hierarchy separator, but this failed too:


$ dsync -Dv \
    -o 'separator=.' \
    -o 'mail_location=maildir:/tmp/dsync_test/maildir' \
    backup \

I got the same error again when I tried the command above with "/"
instead of "." as the hierarchy separator.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but how should I correct the invocation I
used above?  In other words: using dsync, how can I extract/copy the
emails from the mbox to the new Maildir?

Thank you!

Edit your dovecot.conf and add

namespace {
  inbox = yes
  # or use '.' here.
  separator = /
}

Thanks for the suggestion!  I added those lines to the bottom of
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf .

However, when I attempted the mbox to maildir conversion afterwards, I
still received an error, albeit a different one:

I was able to resolve this error by commenting out this line in my
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:

    include conf.d/*.conf


Even after that, though, dsync still failed to migrate the source mbox's
contents to the target maildir, but this time with a "Skipping unchanged
mailbox" message.  See below for full output.

(Dsync did however replace the source mbox's contents with a dummy
message: "This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder,
and is not a real message.  ...".)


I would be grateful for assistance to make dsync convert the mbox to a
maildir.


Here is dsync's output:

And here is my full /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf :


    ## Dovecot configuration file
    
    # If you're in a hurry, see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration
    
    # "doveconf -n" command gives a clean output of the changed
settings. Use it
    # instead of copy&pasting files when posting to the Dovecot mailing
list.
    
    # '#' character and everything after it is treated as comments.
Extra spaces
    # and tabs are ignored. If you want to use either of these explicitly, put
the
    # value inside quotes, eg.: key = "# char and trailing whitespace 
"
    
    # Most (but not all) settings can be overridden by different protocols
and/or
    # source/destination IPs by placing the settings inside sections, for
example:
    # protocol imap { }, local 127.0.0.1 { }, remote 10.0.0.0/8 { }
    
    # Default values are shown for each setting, it's not required to
uncomment
    # those. These are exceptions to this though: No sections (e.g. namespace
{})
    # or plugin settings are added by default, they're listed only as
examples.
    # Paths are also just examples with the real defaults being based on
configure
    # options. The paths listed here are for configure --prefix=/usr
    # --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
    
    # Enable installed protocols
    !include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol
    
    # A comma separated list of IPs or hosts where to listen in for connections.

all IPv6 interfaces.

    #base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/

    #login_trusted_networks     
    # Space separated list of login access check sockets (e.g. tcpwrap)
    #login_access_sockets     
    # With proxy_maybe=yes if proxy destination matches any of these IPs,

    # proxying. This isn't necessary normally, but may be useful if the

    # IP is e.g. a load balancer's IP.
    #auth_proxy_self

    # Setting this to "no" means that Dovecot can be upgraded without

    # Dictionary can be used to store key=value lists. This is used by several
    # plugins. The dictionary can be accessed either directly or though a
    # dictionary server. The following dict block maps dictionary names to URIs

    # "proxy::<name>".
    
    dict {

    # Most of the actual configuration gets included below. The filenames are
    # first sorted by their ASCII value and parsed in that order. The
00-prefixes
    # in filenames are intended to make it easier to understand the ordering.
    #!include conf.d/*.conf
    
    # A config file can also tried to be included without giving an error if
    # it's not found:
    !include_try local.conf
    
    # Added 16/5/2020, per Aki Tuomi advice:
    
    namespace {
      inbox = yes
      # or use '.' here.
      separator = /
    }


Thank you again!
