Hi jjzhuang!

Thanks for your quick reply! The server was a brand new installation. I first thought about migrating the old server installation to the new machine but then decided to go another way:

As I only had two "real" users I utilized the export function of the two respective zdestop installations to export all data. Then I shut down the old server, set up the new one, migrated the domains (i.e. adjusted the mx records in my name servers to point to the new server), manually recreated the two accounts in the zimbra admin web interface, and afterwards imported each of the the two tgz files into the respective (new and empty) account again using the zimbra webinterface.

As I said. Up to here everything works smoothly. All data was imported correctly and the web interfaces of both accounts work perfectly.

As a last step I deleted the two zdesktop installations from the above mentioned xp and jaunty machine and completely reinstalled them using the latest zdesktop version available. Next I set up the two instances so that they started syncing with the new server. Also this worked smoothely (i.e. mails, calendar entries and address books were correctly synced) up to the "very last moment": When the mailbox size indicator showed the same size as the indicator in the web interface, the above error occurred.

My best guess: I use the German language interface and thus "inbox" is e.g. called "Posteingang". But when I look at the folders that apparently lead to the sync error, I can see (in the zimbra web interface) that they still have English names, i.e. they are still named "Error Reports", "Feeds", "Local Folders", and "Outbox". So maybe it is an i18n issue? I could imagine that during the sync zdesktop tries to replace strange looking folder names with the ones for the German locale but then fails as the web client does not have correct german language translations for it? Just a guess.... And, to answer your other question, I did not set up these folders manually. I think they merely belong to the standard zimbra folder set.

Cheers,
Carsten
