2.1 to 2.2 server migration Qs: sanity check, config ?
I have an old Centos 6 running dovecot 2.1.17 with Postfix 2.1x, mysql virtual domains, in the process of setting a new Centos 7 to migrate, copied /etc/dovecot, made some minor edits to get rid of errors, added Letsencrypt in place of self certified certs, it seems to work, using mail client I can log on StartSSL/110/143, TLS/995/993 with no visible errors when login on
is there any other sanity checks I should do ? before I start putting users on it ?
attaching dovecot.conf at the end, appreciate any suggestion or correction
I see a lot of these warning, are they benign?

( as I've re used an old host name, I can see some users already trying to connect, they must've never removed this server name when it was shut down, perhaps they're generating these errors, repeatedly logging on ?)

at least you should remove autocreate plugin.

Aki, thanks.
I forgot to write this is meant as a plain vanilla pop/imap multi user/multi domain server, no special requirements or deviations should be needed
mail_gid = 2000 mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%Lh/Maildir/
The INDEX= is redundant.
so I go from mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%Lh/Maildir/ to mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/
private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:/%%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%%Lh/Maildir/Shared/%%u
You should read https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared
(not sure whether I might have tried shareing my mailbox across two domains for myself once?...maybe that's why it's there... not sure)
so I just remove this whole block:
namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = Shared/%%u/ location = maildir:/%%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%%Lh/Maildir/Shared/%%u # this namespace should handle its own subscriptions or not. subscriptions = yes list = children }
thanks again, sorry for dumb questions

you could use
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
You can use mail_home (or home) to specify homedir, such as
/var/mail/%Ld/%Ln to get lowercase path.
private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:/%%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%%Lh/Maildir/Shared/%%u

No problem, it's better to ask than not. =)
