[Dovecot] Advise on upgrading from a jurassic version - please help.
Hi all,
I have inherited an old Dovecot installation which is causing headaches almost every day.
I know that one of the rules says "Don't bother asking questions about v0.99.x versions. They're no longer supported."...but please bear with me, this will be quick as I only need some advise from experienced Dovecot gurus out there.
I have read the Dovecot documentation and there are instructions to upgrade from 0.99.x to 1.x and so on... my question is: can I upgrade from 0.99.11 to 2.x directly or is it a massive leap? If so, what do I have to keep in mind? This is a production system so I should not break anything... or at least have a rollback plan...
Thanks a lot in advance!
Regards,
Martin

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0 points out a few things:
- rename .subscriptions -> subscriptions
- rename .customflags -> dovecot-keywords
- default pop3 UIDL format changed
