Ok, I'm going to go for it then. From what I read in the docs, I don't think I need to change anything in the Dovecot.conf
However, the problem I always have with using binaries on my Fedora systems is when I start out using an integrated product (like Dovecot, which comes with Fedora and all I have to do is type "chkconfig dovecot on" and all the initial configuration is done for me). And then I upgrade using a binary (instead of the Fedora preferred update path using YUM or an RPM) and end up with two versions of the same program on the computer in two different locations--many times both are started during boot up.
Should I "chkconfig dovecot off" then load the binary? Or will the binary put the software where Fedora expects it and overwrite what I have now?

I'd tend to agree, but Timo is quite conservative with version numbers.
We're running "Dovecot-1.0-stable" in production, which was a "frozen" version of "Dovecot-1.0-testXX" series with important bugfixes backported.
In practice, Dovecot-1.0-alpha4 has less bugs, and is probably now the most "stable" 1.0 version (I'd consider it at least a beta, or even a release candidate). There are lots of bugs in 0.99.x that probably aren't going to get fixed.
Best Wishes, Chris

Chris,
My policy has always been not to use alphas or betas on production systems. What's the projection for Dovecot coming out of beta?
