[Dovecot] Nee assistance with migrating/copying a virtual user's maildir to another virtual user

[David Varela]

Hello,

 

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 scavenaugh at lamontanita.coop
jhenning at lamontanita.coop/INBOX/scavenaugh INBOX ALL

 

The error is:

 

doveadm(scavenaugh at lamontanita.coop): Error: user
scavenaugh at lamontanita.coop: Auth USER lookup failed

 

/var/log/dovecot.log shows:

 

passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence

 

dovecot -n
