[Dovecot] Qpopper migration?
Hello,
As this is my first post to the list, first and foremost I'd like to thank Timo for writing great software; we've successfully moved to Dovecot for over 10,000 users from UW-IMAP and get great performance.
On our overloaded staff POP3/IMAP server, we are looking at replacing qpopper+uw-imapd with dovecot, as an interim before moving them to the main Unix mailstore. The system is primarily POP3, with a small number of heavy IMAP users causing the system grief.
There are a large number of POP3 users who leave messages on the server. What I want to ensure doesn't happen is that they are forced to download them again. Do I need to add anything specific in the pop3_uidl_format or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Kind Regards,
Steve

IIRC qpopper adds X-UIDL header into each message, so you can try to set pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes.

According to this: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-September/008862.html
you just need to set the pop3_reuse_xuidl option (something similar to this patch appears to be present in dovecots sources now)
