Re: dsync error: Can't sync mailbox tmp: Mailbox isn't selectable

Ok, that was it. I did delete everything in the mail folder of the user before. But there where some dotfiles left over. 

I deleted and recreated the Maildir directory with the proper rights and its working now.

Permissions seems obvious, but since tmp is a folder used by Maildir and you 
are creating the maildir…

Maybe the user already has a mailbox named tmp and that is causing confusion in 
the process?

Examining the existing mail folders for the user that is failing will probably 
reveal something of interest. Be sure and check permissions though.

dsync error: Can't sync mailbox tmp: Mailbox isn't selectable

2021-03-26 Thread Hagen Bauer 

Hi,

I am trying to use dsync to migrate from mbox to Maildir with 


 dovecot --version
 2.2.27 ()


The configuration seems to be working and some of the mailbox can be mirrored 
via

dsync -u username mirror  mbox:/home/username/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/username


I have trouble with one user where I get the error. 


dsync(username2): Error: Can't sync mailbox tmp: Mailbox isn't selectable

Any ideas where to look for hints?

Regards
