rsync on remote imap folders

[thedaver]

Having some trouble getting things to behave on an rsync
(two linux servers, both ext3).

rsync -tavr /source/mailusers/[user wildcard/Maildir/.* /target/mailusers/[user wildcard]/Maildir

I WANT it to replicate all folders that are "hidden" - those that being with a leading "." (dot) AND the content of those folders.

What seems to be happening is that the folders like ".INBOX.Drafts" are created but are not filled with the files from that folder.

Not a very effective replication scheme.

QUESTION: What more do I need to tell rsync in order to select this subset of folders AND their content?

I had the exact same peculiarity when syncing my imap mailserver. Try:

rsync -tavr /source/mailusers/[user wildcard/Maildir/ /target/mailusers/[user wildcard]/Maildir/

or

rsync -tavr /source/mailusers/[user wildcard/Maildir /target/mailusers/[user wildcard]

--== Anything can go wrong. It's just a matter of how far wrong it will go till people think its right. ==--

I'll give that a spin, zeland. Gracias!
