Have you created the dbox directory before running dsync? And opened it with some tool? I tried with your config and it worked fine. The reason why these duplicate INBOXes happen is when INBOX exists both in source and in destination when dsync is run. Typically this means that you've created the destination INBOX already by e.g. logging in or delivering a mail there or something..
Re: [Dovecot] problem migrating from maildir to dbox
While the dovecot is running with the new mail_location to dbox, I try to migrate the maildir content. This is the reason because INBOX already exists. -- -- Ramon Frontera Gallardo Centre de Tecnologies de la Informació Universitat de les Illes Balears Ctra.

Re: [Dovecot] problem migrating from maildir to dbox
You changed the mail_location globally to dbox? You should instead do it one user at a time, like explained in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync (with initial dsync done before user's mail_location is ever changed). Otherwise you'll get these duplicate INBOXes and you'll need to somehow manually figure out how to merge them. There are doveadm move and doveadm mailbox delete commands for example.

Hello, we want to migrate Mail folders from Maildir to dbox without downtime. We change the mail_location to dbox in 10-mail.conf and restart dovecot.
