[Dovecot] POP3 UID file problem

Hello.

I upgraded from RHRL4 to RHEL5 and my dovecot version changed from
dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4  to dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5.

I also transferred all /home directories of users. The problem is that users
have POP3 mail client set that it leaves mail on mailserver for 30 days.
When they try to download messages from new server, client (Thinderbird)
want to download all messages for those 30 days (he of course already has
all those messages..). I suspect UID POP3 database index file format has
changed..

How to "convert" dovecot 0.99 POP3 UID files to those used in newer version
or how to go around that?

Thanks for answering,

naslov
