I've read the web/man pages on dsync, but it's not clear to me whether
dsync can be used to export (rather than import) a user's mailbox to a
remote non-dovecot IMAP account.
(The intention is to use it whenever a user leaves and wants to copy their
local mail to Google or whatever. I currently use uw-imapd's mailutil --
it works, but it's dreadfully slow.)
As a first crack at it, I tried (on the dovecot server)
dsync -o imapc_user=remoteuser
-o imapc_password=remotepassword
-o imapc_host=remote-imap-server
-o imapc_port=993
-o imapc_ssl=imaps
-o imapc_features=rfc822.size
-o imapc_list_prefix=remoteprefix
-o mailbox_list_index=no
backup -f -u localuser imapc:
I got this error:
dsync(localuser): Error: user localuser: Initialization failed:
Namespace '': Unknown mail storage driver imapc
dsync(localuser): Fatal: User init failed
Is exporting mail to a remote (non-dovecot) IMAP account even doable with
dsync, or
am I completely off-track?
