Move dovecot between servers
Hi to all I have a very old dovecot server (1.2.15) with about 195GB used and 1081 email accounts. I have to move this server to another one with contextual dovecot upgrade.
Anyone did this before? Any advice? Obviously, existing emails *must not* be downloaded twice by existing clients (outlook, thunderbird, ...)
I have no access to customer's clients, only to my server.

Hi!
I know this guide but last time i had to upgrade between 1.2 to 2.0 it was totally a mess, as
doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > dovecot-2.conf
didn't output anything.
additionally, this is for upgrading, but what about mailbox migration (via rsync)? Dovecout would preserve the UID and anything else to avoid a new download on clients?
