Does rsync have root privileges? Otherwise you'll get lots of permission denied errors.

Do you run the rsync command as root or as another user?

I strictly followed the tutorial "Mirror Your Web Site With rsync".
So when i get to point "6 Test rsync On mirror.example.com", as root, a issued the command,
rsync -avz --delete --exclude=**/xeros -e "ssh -i /root/rsync/mirror-rsync-key" xeros[at]mail.ests.ac.mz:/home/ /home/
i get several lines like This,
rsync: opendir "/home/ligiamabutana/Maildir" failed: Permission denied (13).

I've Maildir's always generated with such permissions. Is there a way to copy it?

You can try it with imapsync: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-migrate-mailboxes-between-imap-servers-with-imapsync
