[Dovecot] Version differences, trash, upgrade

[José Antonio Suarez Pinzón]

Hello everybody,

I have some basic questions:

1. how can I configure the auto-empty trash plugin for all users after 3 or
4 days (This is very important, regular users do not clean their trash, or
are using blackberry and do not have an option to do it or simply, do not
care about it)

2. difference between version 1.2.17 and latest 2 version of Dovecot, have
the version 2 an automatic option for the trash thing?

3. me as a basic skilled user, how can I made the upgrade to version 2
without major risks, I mean I do not want to leave everybody on my server
without mail.

 

I am a novice in all of this stuff, so please excuse me if I am making dumb
questions.

Thanks in advance for your help.
