Hey guys.
I hate to be rude but I am going to bump my post. Does anybody have any advice on migrating from vm-pop3d?

Hello All.
I am looking into an old server which is running vm-pop3d. This server is having problems because the pop3 server is taking up 100% of the CPU. I looked at the largest mailboxes and there are a handful over 20 megs in size, the largest one is 55megs, they are all mbox format (I think).
I have been looking at the wiki and it looks like there is a perl script to make the mailboxes behave. There are also other scripts that try and convert mbox to maildir formats and from what I can gather dovecot can do this as well.
Finally the dovecot in the fedora repos is 1.0.X and I notice that the latest in 1.2.X is there a more up to date dovecot RPM repo?
I would appreciate any advice anybody can give me on how to proceed with this transition.
Thank you in advance.
