[Dovecot] Upgrade question from 1.1 to 1.2
Good afternoon,
I am considering to upgrade from Dovecot 1.1.18 to 1.2.x and was reading your Wiki regarding any changes and found: "If you were using e.g. mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%h, just change it to mail_location = maildir:%h and add /var/mail/ prefix to home dirs."
I am currently using: "mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir" in combination with vpopmail. Does this need to be changed? or is ~/Maildir considered an absolute directory?
Is there anything else I should be aware of ?
Sincerely,
- Wouter van der Schagt

Assuming your home directory is an absolute path, ~/ expands to
absolute path.

If you find out anything, add it to the wiki..

Upgrade went relatively smooth. I did get 2 error messages though in the errorlog.
Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 18: Unknown setting: ssl_disable Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 81: Unknown setting: login_greeting_capability
Are these settings deprecated? and if so, what supersedes them? Commenting them out for now did the trick.

there is a list with the changes. To make you life a little easier here they are:
Settings:
*
Renamed ssl_disable=yes to ssl=no.
*
Renamed auth_ntlm_use_winbind to auth_use_winbind, which also
determines if GSS-SPNEGO is handled by GSSAPI or winbind.
*
Removed login_greeting_capability. The capabilities are now always
sent (Lemonade requires this and it's not that much extra traffic).
*
Removed auth_worker_max_request_count. It was useful only with
PAM, so it can now be specified in
passdb pam { args = max_requests=n } . The default is 100.
*
Removed umask. It wasn't really used anywhere anymore.--

Actually I did. Twice even. Somehow I thought those settings did not apply to me since currently we only use the pop3 protocol. Pretty stupid eh?
My apologies.
