In particular, please consult section 5, which includes this
warning:<br>
<blockquote>
<p>To check your entire system’s configuration you can use the
conf-all
action. This command takes all the system defaults, along with
anything
you have provided overrides for in your config files:</p>
<div class="highlight-python">
<div class="highlight">
<pre><span></span>cyr_info conf-all -C <path to imapd.conf> -M <path to cyrus.conf>
</pre>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>Important config</strong> options: <code
class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">unixhierarchysep:</span></code>
and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">altnamespace:</span></code>
defaults have changed in <a class="reference internal"
href="https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/manpages/configs/imapd.conf.html#std:cyrusman-imapd.conf%285%29">imapd.conf(5)</a>.
Implications are
outlined in the Note in <a class="reference internal"
href="https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/concepts/features/namespaces.html#imap-admin-namespaces-mode"><span>User
Namespace Mode</span></a> and

<pre wrap="">Using imapsync we are attempting to move our mail store from an
Cyrus-IMAPd-2.3.16 running under CentOS-6.9 to a Cyrus-IMAPD-3.0.4
running under FreeBSD-11.1p6. In all instances we are using software
as packaged by the respective distribution.
On our existing system our user mailboxes are referenced using
user.mailbox. On the new system we can create mailboxes with the same
nomenclature (user.mailbox). However, when we try to transfer an
existing mailbox to the new server via imapsync it does not use the
existing mailbox given by user.mailbox. Instead, it seems to create
on the target host a new mailbox called user/mailbox distinct from
user.mailbox.
My question is: What configuration issue is causing this discrepancy
between expected (user.mailbox --> user.mailbox) and observed
behaviour (user.mailbox --> user/mailbox)?
The the non-default settings in imapd.conf on the target system are:
syslog_prefix: CYRUS
syslog_facility: MAIL
admins: cyrus admin
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
sieveusehomedir: false
sievedir: /var/imap/sieve
