[Dovecot] Convert from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8?
The server I am running Dovecot on is still using locale = ISO-8859-1 but I am thinking it is time to convert to UTF-8... Can I just use convmv to convert all the files in the mailboxes to UTF-8 or is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to run iconv to convert the content also or does dovecot/MUA fix this by it self? (i.e. they display the mail as encoded in ISO-8859-1)
Regards,
BTJ

Dovecot doesn't use locale. You shouldn't do anything to any Dovecot files.
