why in the world is someone installing 1.1 in 2013 on a new server while current version is 2.2.3 and virtually nobody knows about 1.1 years after support was dropped?

Do you really have to respond to every email on this list? Even if you have nothing productive to say? Please. As I understand the OP, he uses 1.1.20 now and this is the version to migrate from. -- Aleksander 'A.L.E.C' Machniak LAN Management System Developer [http://lms.org.pl] Roundcube Webmail Developer [http://roundcube.net] --------------------------------------------------- PGP: 19359DC1 @@ GG: 2275252 @@ WWW: http://alec.pl

Save your breath, Harald is just a complete abrasive jagoff, on this and every other list, I know for a fact that he is one step from being banned off the apache lists, his arsehole attitude to the world has been pointed out to him many time before, by many people, he just does not get it

be an asshole to yourself then idiot and keep your fucking mouth SHUT if you have nothing helpful to say, especially to those who are new or stuck on certain versions due to policies which you do not write or have any input on (thank christ), some may not know better and do NOT deserve to be spoken down at by some caustic fuckwit like you
you of course are always welcome to have a say in a polite term to newbies etc assisting them by politely explaining why its best to not use such version or whatever - otherwise, fuck off and dont say a word to them, assholes like you give lists a bad name, sure I am NOT innocent in some respects to this, but at least I only attack the trolls and ranting idiots (like you, now), but you however, attack anyone, and theres no excuse for THAT.
I agree completely, I for one am also very sick of Harald's venomous rhetoric on this list. I am surprised that a moderator has not banned Harald or officially warned him.
I am not one for such language, but I spent only five minutes googling Harald, and I see what you have meant, perhaps as you alluded to, sometimes you need to speak baby talk, to talk to baby.

Mon Jun 17 00:42:32 EEST 2013 Released v2.2.3.
and do NOT deserve to be spoken down at by some caustic fuckwit like you
"why in the world is someone installing 1.1 in 2013 on a new server while current version is 2.2.3" is spoken down?
laughable!
you of course are always welcome to have a say in a polite term to newbies etc assisting them by politely explaining why its best to not use such version or whatever
how comes that most mailing-lists are full of gorgeous girls starting to cry after ervy not beloved word?

well and in this case you refer to LTS distributions and the one who is responsible and the commercial support which is the reason to stick on a outdated version are the ones to ask, they get paid for..........
Guys..i'm sorry if my questions is too absurd. Let me explain first.FYI im a totally newbie in this mail server thing. The mail server admin who managed and created this server in 2010 is gone .no contact at all.And also no documentation about the server in detail. And now the server need to be upgraded. We wana build new server with data ( account + mailbox ) migrated from the old server. I've tried to follow dovecot migration tutorial in wiki but still no luck. So I post here for further help. Ok at first I get the idea that my dovecot version is too old for 2013. But IMHO thats too risky for me to upgrade to new version bcause of my knowledge. Afterall in wiki theres a tutorial Dovecot 1 . I want to focus on that instead of making change to my server. But now it still not working in my old server. I hope ill get answer in this forum. Again.. Sorry for my question if it categorized as flamming , OOT or something else. Im just a newbie with question and need some help..
Thanx guys..

Hello,
Actually I have just recently migrated 2 Dovecot installations from 1.x to 2.x simply by installing the current version and pointing it to the same user and storage configuration. Worked like a charm.
Best wishes Eugene

Everything was ok with your question, just ignore non tec answers some people tent to use abusive language and are well known for this they seem to forget that sooner or later they will be called acountable for that, cause their vile words are forbidden to use public, in most civilized countries

You question ist totaly valid, so no problem. With the problem as
described i would go like this:
- Build your new server with a distribution you feel comfortable with
- Install the Dovecot Version provided by this distribution
- Check the basic settings done by your install and adjust only the
needed settings - Migrate the user/password store if they are local/on the same
machine and check if its working - Check the mail input from the MTA
- Copy one user mailbox to the new server, adjust permissions/owner if
necessary and test if its working
If all the steps suceed copy over all mailbox data. If your are i
doubt and/or the mailsystem is critical for the company raise some
budget to get external paid help.

Andreas
