does the old Maildir still contains new/cur folders? move them into
.usr_XYZ.INBOX; Maildir/new and Maildir/cur hold the INBOX.
The manager's Maildir should look like:
Maildir
/new
/cur
/tmp
/.Folder1.subfolder2...
/new
/cur
/tmp
/.usr_XYZ.usrFolder
/new
/cur
/tmp
If the manager has a Maildir/.usr_XYZ.usrFolder/cur and
Maildir/.usr_XYZ.usrFolder/new and at least one file is in either new or
cur _and_ the manager is either displaying all folders or has
usr_XYZ.usrFolder subscribed, this messages are to display in the MUA.
sometimes one need to refresh the list of folders or something like that.
Do the filesystem permission fit?

Thanks Steffan,
I will test the move at the filesystem level.
The virtual user still exists, although I have changed her password.
Dovecot is configured to authenticate users via LDAP to Active Directory.
If there's a better method of moving maildir via Dovecot rather than through
the filesystem I would like to do so.
Thanks,
David

I am trying to move/copy a virtual user's maildir to another virtual
user but am running into problems with dsync and doveadm. I'm trying
to move the maildir of a user who is no longer with the company to a
manager's maildir.
For doveadm I am using the command:
doveadm move -u scavena...@lamontanita.coop
jhenn...@lamontanita.coop/INBOX/scavenaugh INBOX ALL
The error is:
doveadm(scavena...@lamontanita.coop): Error: user
scavena...@lamontanita.coop: Auth USER lookup failed
/var/log/dovecot.log shows:
passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence
The user is gone from passdb already, right? Re-create the entry with
another password or password-locked.
Or, move the directories on filesystem level, e.g. something like:
cd user-Maildir-basedirectory
rename 's/\A(\.[^.].*)/.usr_XYZ$1/' .[^.]* mkdir -p
.usr_XYZ.INBOX/{new,cur,tmp} touch .usr_XYZ.INBOX/maildirfolder chown -R
vmail:vmail .usr_XYZ.INBOX mv .usr_XYZ* manage-Maildir-basedirectory
.usr_XYZ is a prefix for a mail folder hierarchie identifying the user.
vmail:vmail are the necessary Unix owner/group for the newly created
directories with mkdir two lines above. The rename command renames all
directory entries that start with a single dot to have the prefix, that
should be directories only in a Maildir.
