Since this could take months if not years with some of our "zombie"
mailboxes I guess I'll not take that route. ;)
Most of them are "empty" aka "0000" from pop3 only accounts 
anyway, happily created by the 0.99 dovecot.

Ah, that sounds like a plan. And seeing that 1.0 does not create an
empty default dovecot-keywords file when accessed by pop3, I presume
I could just get rid of these (the "0000" ones) altogether, right?

Looking forward to 1.0.1 anyways, as I'm getting bitten by the 
"UID larger than next_uid" bug here. ^_^

Christian
