[Dovecot] Mixed Courier POP3 and Dovecot IMAP environment

[Jan van den Berg]

For now, I've 'hacked'/edited the Dovecot source and everything seems to
work OK for me. 
It makes switching back possible however; I will then need to edit the
courierimapsubscribed file (INBOX.etc). Because Dovecot handles this
namespace correctly and Courier doesn't.

But using a proxy can be of help too; could you give some pointers/url
on how to set up this proxy?

I am going through the same process at the moment and I think the best 
solution is to start afresh

I have setup a new Dovecot server with the proxy stuff enabled.  I can 
then migrate accounts one at a time to the new machine and other users 
pointing at the new machine simply get proxied back to the old machine.

Can't easily roll users back to the old machine, but it does mean that 
we can do limited testing and not need to do a big bang approach
