  'courierimapuiddb' instead of 'dovecot-uidlist': otherwise I guess POP3 and IMAP users will have different UID files, right? Is this smart or will this still break the UID file?

Courier POP3 uses courierpop3uiddb (or something) file for POP3 UIDLs. Unless you're using a really old Courier version.

I'm thinking about patching so the transition can be as transparent as possible: Also if anything might go wrong in production I want to be able to switch back to the 'old' Courier IMAP (without renaming files etc.)

I guess then you want to rename dovecot-uidlist. Courier's keyword implementation is also different from Dovecot.
