Any suggestion on how to upgrade everything ? Can I test our current configuration with a newer dovecot version to be sure that everything would be converted properly with "doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > dovecot-2.conf" ?
actually, you answer your question yourself:
"Can I test"
yes: you can and *should* test, but it's a major upgrade.
I did it so:
- checked out the automated conversation,
- each change I made to the conf of Dovecot v1, I read, what to do in v2 and applied the change to the default configuration manually with hints from the step above
- once all in place, I started a test system with a bunch of accounts that used all features: sieve, sharing, ... .

Btw, I think the most safe option would be to make *new* server (advantage to upgrade the platform here too) and migrate users to the new server instead of upgrading. Just my 2c.
