Dear All,
Thanks for all your replied but still I don't know how to install from 1.0.7 to 1.2.14. What should I consider to keep the same configuration during or after upgrade? 

It is the first time I am trying to upgrade my Dovecot.

Thank a lot for your help

Indeed, but some people who use certain distros are scared shitless of
using source packages and will insist on using a  several yo version
because thats all <insert distro X or Y here> provides,  the 1.2 branch
is rock solid stable and time proven, if distro X/Y only oifferes 1.0.x,
well, that says a  lot about distro X/Y, we all know who X 'n Y are,
without mentioning names :)

I suggest using 1.2.14, expect a couple teething problems depending on your setup for the 1.0 to 1.2 
changes in the config, but as to how you need it built, depends on how you are using it now.

Touch?. The FreeBSD developers do have a bug up their ass regarding GPL
licenses which has effectively slowed down the introduction of some new
(better) software into the base system. This has reportedly led to
sporadic problems with some newer applications being released into the
FreeBSD ports system.

All things considered though, they usually maintain software that is
relatively up-to-date; i.e., Postfix for example. The developers version
is always available and current in the ports system. Most other major
applications follow that general protocol. New releases of Dovecot are
always available, usually only a few days after being released. This
2.x version is not the norm though. It is, as you so clearly stated, a
BETA version. I would like to see FreeBSED release it clearly marked as
a BETA or DEVELOPERS version, aka "USE AT ON RISK". Doing so would
allow it to receive more extensive testing while warning potential
users of the risks involved.

I would comment on Debian; however, I don't want to start a flame war.

Seriously, the weekend is upon use. Nothing like a good flame war over
whose OS is superior.

I've never understood the OS flame war mentality.  Each OS has its
strengths and its weaknesses.  You pick your OS poison based on the
strengths you desire, and live with the warts.  Every OS has warts, some
more than others, but they all have 'em.

hello everybody!

This's my very first post in dovecot. I'm installing a new server for backup
site, with qmail + vpopmail 5.4.32 + dovecot.
Production server, more or less outdated, runs with Couier Imap, but
everybody know the history..
I've been fighting for several days...And no luck with version 2.0.4, 2.0.3
neither.
My first asumption was to review things thousand of times due to newbie
condition...
This morning I've tried version 1.2.14 and voila! , it works perfectly!

The error log with version 2 was the famous unkown user one:

 dovecot: auth: vpopmail(test4 at adomain.com,10.206.16.10): unknown user

test4 user worked perfectly with pop3...

Just FYI, is this can help.

Regards!

Aha - this is the master login stuff.  That does kind of make sense.  
Quite subtle mind
