I want to transfer an email from [email protected] to put it in a folder of another user: [email protected]

For that, it seems to me appropriate to use 'doveadm move' command, but I can not get the right result. Can you help me?

syntax: doveadm move [-u |-A] [-S ] [user ]

my attempts:

doveadm move -u [email protected] DIRECTORY_2 mailbox [email protected]:'DIRECTORY_1' all

return: Error: Syncing mailbox [email protected]:DOSSIER_1 failed: Mailbox doesn't exist: [email protected]:DOSSIER_1

doveadm -u [email protected] DIRECTORY_2 mailbox sdbox:/complete/path/[email protected]/mailboxes/DIRECTORY_1 all

return: Error: Syncing mailbox sdbox:/complete/path/[email protected]/mailboxes/DIRECTORY_1 failed: Mailbox doesn't exist: sdbox:/complete/path/[email protected]/mailboxes/DIRECTORY_1

doveadm move -u [email protected] DIRECTORY_2 mailbox [email protected] 'DIRECTORY_2' all

return: Fatal: Unknown argument DIRECTORY_2

some details:

directory exists
the following command works (in case 'DIRECTORY_1' and 'DIRECTORY_2' are in the [email protected] user): doveadm move -u [email protected] DIRECTORY_2 mailbox 'DIRECTORY_1' ALL
my problem is that I can not put another user destination
