I'd just use Dovecot v2.0 on the original non-converted mailbox: doveadm -u username force-resync INBOX This will make sure all of INBOX's u.* files are in the index files. Do the same for the rest of the mailboxes too. Thank you very much, that solved the problem! Ran force-resync on all mailboxes that were missing mails (made handy use of the subscriptions file) and they "automagicly" re-appeared. Just had to mark them read again. N.

N. deleted mails on old server... do expunge or purge befor syncing. imapsync will not copy deleted messages i think... The problem is not imapsync but dsync. I created a new account nick2 and synced, with imapsync all mails from nick to nick2. I moved the old maildir (nick) to nick.old and renamed nick2 to nick. I checked the new mail and all mails were there (with the exception of 23 mails which according to imapsync were duplicates). So at this point I have a new "clean" mailmap; there are no mails missing. I copied this new mailmap (nick) to a new filesystem (/vmail2/new) to do some migration tests and ran dsync to sync these mails. [vm...@mail ~]$ ./dsync -D -o mail_location=dbox:/vmail2/old/bunbun.be/nick mirror dbox:/vmail2/new/bunbun.be/nick When I compare the 2 maildirs there are about 800 files missing: [vm...@mail ~]$ find /vmail2/new/bunbun.be/nick | wc -l 5329 [vm...@mail ~]$ find /vmail2/old/bunbun.be/nick | wc -l 6134 If I do a diff on the missing files there are maps that are empty and where the source contains valid, non-deleted mails.
