I was hoping of rsync'ing all Maildirs from the old machine to the new one (including indexes etc etc) and power up Dovecot 2.2.x and see what happens, but is that possible or is there another (and better) way short of installing 2.0.x on the new machine, rsync everything and then upgrade to 2.2.x?
use rsync!
Allright! I just had to make sure where were no obvious incompatibility issues when changing from an older version of Dovecot..
Sometimes (in other systems) there might be a datastructure or something else thats problematic..
- stop services on both machines
- rsync a last time
- start services on the new machine
- change IP or DNS
That is exactly the plan..
well, and since you don't change data on the old one you have a untouched backup there
