Hello.
I upgraded from RHRL4 to RHEL5 and my dovecot version changed from dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4 to dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5.
I also transferred all /home directories of users. The problem is that users have POP3 mail client set that it leaves mail on mailserver for 30 days. When they try to download messages from new server, client (Thinderbird) want to download all messages for those 30 days (he of course already has all those messages..). I suspect UID POP3 database index file format has changed..
Yes, this was mentioned in the upgrade document: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0
How to "convert" dovecot 0.99 POP3 UID files to those used in newer version or how to go around that?
If you change it again, those who already redownloaded the messages will have to download them yet again..
