Hi,
We are currently running Dovecot v1.1.6 on our servers, and are contemplating an upgrade to 1.2, or 2.0 soon. We are wondering how many organizations are still running a 1.1 version of Dovecot, and if anyone has any thoughts on this transition. Have you upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2? What are your experiences with this? Have you upgraded from 1.1 to 2.0 directly? What are your experiences this way? We are also running an environment with both mbox and maildir formats. How many of you are running similarly, or are running solely maildir or mbox? We're just looking to gather information going forward, and anything you might be able to contribute would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Hi Tom,
We are running 1.1.x (http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/dovecot-1.1.x/), after a recent upgrade from 0.99 on a CentOS 4 system. The upgrade went flawlessly after reading the wiki, asking a couple of questions here and testing first with a test system.
Then I looked at 1.2. I saw there was some possible issues with our set up, so I went with the good old and tried 1.1.x instead.
So far 1.1.x is has performed beautiful, so if it is not broken, no reason to fix it.
Down the line, I'll plan to upgrade to 1.2.x , after 2.0.x is fully stable. Of course I'll need some time, no current projects in /dev/TODO and a good reason to change something that works just fine :-)
