It really was less painful than I'd anticipated.

So are you saying all I have to really do is backup my current 0.99 /etc/dovecot.conf - then install the latest 1.0.13 & then that should be all?

Not quite. You need to port your existing config options to the new config file. It's changed syntax, and a few options have changed names.

However, that was ALL I changed. Mind you, I'm running a very basic setup (all Unix users in /etc/passwd + /etc/shadow, maildir, no quotas, etc).

I read the WIKI link previously suggested and it was very dry and left me with a lot of questions...

Such as...?
