[Dovecot] converting from vm-pop3d

[Tim Uckun]

Hello All.

I am looking into an old server which is running vm-pop3d.  This
server is having problems because the pop3 server is taking up 100% of
the CPU. I looked at the largest mailboxes and  there are a handful
over 20 megs in size, the largest one is 55megs, they are all mbox
format (I think).

I have been looking at the wiki and it looks like there is a perl
script to make the mailboxes behave.  There are also other scripts
that try and convert mbox to maildir formats and from what I can
gather dovecot can do this as well.

Finally the dovecot in the fedora repos is 1.0.X and I notice that the
latest in 1.2.X is there a more up to date dovecot RPM repo?

I would appreciate any advice anybody can give me on how to proceed
with this transition.

Thank you in advance.
