Actually I figured I could do it quickly, and if dovecot stopped working 
I could revert back.

So I took the plunge, and yes it still seems to be working and yes It 
created two sockets.  Don't know if they both work yet, but the first 
one does and the second is definitely there.

Thanks for daring for me.
