Just wondering, what OS do you use?
Ubuntu (Debian based) server < http://www.ubuntu.com/server >
Main distro has Dovecot 1.2.12, but there are ppa's (a kind of user maintained, but publicly available repository) with the latest Dovecot (currently 2.0.9).
To install Dovecot 2.0.9, using Mauermann's ppa, you just execute: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mauermann/testing sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
2.x.x any time soon? Or is debian just the wrong platform if I want to run the dovecot 2 series? What do other users do, roll your own .debs from source?
Debian is as good as any other. It is just a matter of finding a backported Dovecot 2.0.9 that suits your Debian version. For instance, as it seems that you are using the same Debian base, you could try to execute as root: echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mauermann/testing/ubuntu maverick main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
And see if it works for you.
If it doesn't, just get back at were you started, execute as root: sed -i '/mauermann\/testing/d' /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update
