Good Day,
I have been following this tutorial without much luck -
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ConvertPasswordSchemes#CA-26af2b83a43b8100522...
It is obvious to me that I am not following the instructions correctly and
need to be shown what I am misunderstanding.
I have an old postfix + dovecot + Roundcube mailserver (mail.domain.Tld).
Server clock is loosing time and adjusting it causes dovecot to kill itself,
we cannot install more memory, bigger hard-drives, etc.
I have built a new server box (mail2.domain.Tld) With Postfix + dovecot +
Roundcube. This server is functioning, with a client's new domain, and my
personal domain. it's password system is SHA512-CRYPT.
I have imported the users from the old server over to the new server. I have
created a new column "plain_pass" for the plain passwords.
I will be using imapsync to transfer the mail folders from the one server to
the other, but will not proceed until I fix this issue.
Actually, _what_ issue?
