I just installed the newest version for what I could find for the distro 
I am running. I don't think the version matters much at this point 
though. I am mainly focused on trying to migrate the mail to the new 
server. I don't want to have to upgrade the OS on the existing machine 
and THEN upgrade dovecot to do an "in-place" migration. Since we are 
currently on Fedora 11 on the old machine I would have to upgrade to at 
least Fedora 12, but then why mess with 12 when 13 is current and then 
14 is out in about 25 days?

It boils down to, I just need to figure out how to make the migration 
work between the two machines and nothing i am trying is working 
properly. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
