Thanks. If the script is running as the user, does doveadm still need the -u flag?

MDM is only invoked if the target folder doesn't exist. For example, for this list the current target folder is .zz.dovecot.2013. Next year, it will change to .zz.dovecot.2014

(the .zz is because iOS mail does't support unsubscribing from mailboxes and doesn't let you collapse folders, so the zz puts these archive folders way at the end.)
