[Dovecot] uw-imap and gnu-pop3d to dovecot transition/replacement

[Jani Karlsson]

Hi

I am trying directly to replace old uw-imap + GNU pop3d with Dovecot.

Problems I am having with new (1.0-stable 22.02.2005) are:
- How to get SSL working with new config?
imaps_listen doesn't exist anymore.
cannot add protocol imaps for some reason.

- need to get Dovecot run on another port the test-phase, ie 144 for 
imap, 994 for IMAPs

- need to use .mailboxlist (modified the source already, this maybe 
works - due SSL problem not tested?)

- no symlinks etc can't be done (simply too many mailboxes) so how to 
make dovecot read IMAP-directories from user's homedir..

Anything else I should know before trying this transition?
All help truely appreciated.

Jani.

(Mailbox count is high which why transition to faster postclient-server 
software is necessary - or adding few more dual CPU-servers.. and doing 
anything but editing config/such by hand is not a option.)
