[Dovecot] pop3-login Error after dovecot 1.2.11 to dovecot 2.0.13

[Bradley Giesbrecht]

I recently upgaded from dovecot 1.2.11 to 2.0.13.
I used this command on my dovecont.conf after the upgrade and then moved the new file into place after removing some plugins.
$ sudo doveconf -n -c dovecot-1.conf > dovecot-2.conf

After 24+ hours with no issues I was getting pop3 login failures.

Bouncing dovecot has resolved the login issues for the present.

Reading from the wiki I see my post-login scripts will need changing.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0

Is there anything else obviously/dangerously wrong with the following doveconf output?
I'm am still in the process of moving directives out of dovecot.conf into the new conf.d files.
