dovecot - Jul 2020 - BUG report: dbox movealt doesn't move reverse (to default location)

Hi,

Here is the problem that occured: 
#sudo doveadm -D altmove -u vv at vito.pp.ua all 
works properly and moves all storage to alt dir.
However, to move it back to default storage I add '-r' by manual:
#sudo doveadm -D altmove -u vv at vito.pp.ua -r all
That seems behave like the original command ignoring '-r'.


my dovecot conf:

I am using debian 10.

P.S. I have not found much information about dbox attachments commands.
Seems none needs them.

Can you try if works if you put the parameters to documented order?

like: doveadm altmove -r -u victim all

As per https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Altmove 
Options:
 -r
    When the -r option is given this command works the other way round.
Mails will be moved from the alternative storage back to the default
mail location.

Still doesn't work in version 2.3.10.1

Can some one else check it please? Does anyone use this advanced format?

Same problem here with Dovecot 2.3.13, "doveadm altmove -r" is not 
moving anything from alternate to default storage. I fixed this by 
reverting this commit:
