Currently I use Dovecot 1.2.9 from Ubuntu repositories. I'll try to upgrade Dovecot (to 2.2.15), compiling from sources. It seems not too difficult... :)
Well, I see, that I have to recreate the configuration, since the old one can not be used with Dovecot2, OK, not a problem.
Now: is there something special to be done to upgrade Dovecot or can I just stop the old version and start the new one and all runs without problem?
If you do not change the logic of the config, keep the same mail storage format, etc.pp., Dovecot should update all Dovecot-related files and it should work. However, you cannot go back without loosing some information depending on your storage.
Therefore, it is always wise to: backup everything and do a test on a test system before touching the production server.
