You need to change more than that! See the Wiki for details
http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/UpgradingDovecot
In particular, the syntax for authdb and passwd has changed, so start with dovecot-example.conf as it suggests and make the equivalent changes to those you made for 0.99.x

Chris,
I loaded Alpha 4 and now I'm back to square one. Can't authenticate.
I've turned off Dovecot .99 (chkconfig dovecot off, service dovecot stop), and am using the /usr/local/sbin/dovecot to start
I know I'm editing the correct config file (/usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf) because I changed the name and dovecot noticed.
I've made the following changes to dovecot.conf
protocols = pop3 ssl_disable = yes default_mail_env = default_mail_env = mbox:/tmp:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY mail_extra_groups = mail passdb shadow
When I try to pop from Outlook Express, it keeps prompting me for a password.
HELP!
Cliff

I'd tend to agree, but Timo is quite conservative with version numbers.
We're running "Dovecot-1.0-stable" in production, which was a "frozen" version of "Dovecot-1.0-testXX" series with important bugfixes backported.
In practice, Dovecot-1.0-alpha4 has less bugs, and is probably now the most "stable" 1.0 version (I'd consider it at least a beta, or even a release candidate). There are lots of bugs in 0.99.x that probably aren't going to get fixed.
Best Wishes, Chris

Chris,
My policy has always been not to use alphas or betas on production
systems.
What's the projection for Dovecot coming out of beta?
