quite naturally for an administrator that is migrating to dovecot or to
imap in general.
I've been thinking of doing some major wiki restructuring some day before v1.0 release. So that in main page there would be something like:
- Information about IMAP, POP3, SMTP and mail servers in general
- Installing and setting up a simple Dovecot installation
- Full guide to setting up a new system
- Migration from existing systems
- other servers
- mbox <-> maildir
- pop3 -> imap
- Troubleshooting
- Supported features / current status / TODO
Troubleshooting should start with generic "How do I find out what the problem is?" and then several subsections with specific problems.
I'm not sure if any of this helps with what you wanted to write though, since it is going to be a pretty large change.. :)
I have not (yet) found out anything about the CONTROL= part of the mail
environment. Should I write something about it? Is it usefull for system
administrators to know about it? What is it?
It'd be useful to know since with maildir that's pretty much the only way to reliably implement filesystem quota (set Dovecot's control and index files to a partition without quota enforcing).
