Hello,

We  have a production mail server running dovecot 0.99 (dovecot-0.99.14-1.rf). 
We are getting several errors corrected in dovecot 1.x versions: 

* corrupted inboxes (garbage at beggining of mbox files), 

* corrupted index files (Error: Corrupted file 
index /home/jsmith/.imap/Drafts/.imap.index: Sequence 6 not found from binary 
tree (6 msgs says header)), 

* others (Error: fcntl() failed with mbox file /var/mail/jsmith: Resource 
deadlock avoided), etc.

I'm planning to upgrade using the instructions found at dovecot's wiki.
