Try to take a look at 
https://build.opensuse.org/project/repository_state/home:sbosch:dovecot-2.2/xUbuntu_12.04

as linked from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Ubuntu

These are automatically built packages and are designated as unstable. 
This refers to the fact that new packages are built automatically when 
new commits are added to the source code repository. If a new commit 
introduced a bug, then the new binary package will be buggy. What you 
can do is to just try it and see if it works well in your configuration, 
and then put the packages on hold and don't just upgrade them. You can 
test new builds in a test environment.


Sometimes "unstable" should be read as "potentially unstable but not 
necessarily". There need not be anything inherently dangerous in a 
particular build of the packages, it's more about a convenient channel 
of distribution which you seem to be lacking, for dovecot 2.2.

You can always fall back on

to implement any wild and woolly scheme you got going.

Since dsync was always buggy in pre 2.2 releases, and was completely
rewritten for 2.2, I'd say it has now become 'necessary' to update, if
you are experiencing dsync issues.


So, configuration I have should work in 2.2 ? 


Didn't get that far. The point is you are wasting time trying to get it 
to work in 2.1...

[Dovecot] Debian Wheezy Dovecot Replication no updates on message deposit

[Milan Cvetkovic]

Hi,

I am trying to setup dovecot replication based on:

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-January/087674.html

I know that 2.1.7 is dated, but I would refrain from upgrading, if not 
necessary.


The problem I have is pretty much same as the one described in 
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-January/087674.html:


I have vmail user on both systems, setup with ssh public key logins with 
empty passphrase. Apparently, dsync happens only on periodic updates. If 
a message is deposited on one server, it will only propagate to the 
other once a while.


Thanks, Milan.

depends where your password is stored, or what auth mech do you use i.e
with running on seperate sql server, configure roundcube to change pass
there, for sure your roundcube must be able to connect to external sql
server, so specially have a look at your firewall rules, ideally a
secondary private net is used for sql traffic

perhaps look at

http://trac.roundcube.net/browser/github/plugins/password

but i am no expert in roundcube, if this is the right plugin, for
problems as their list

[Dovecot] Dovecot + roundcube -- Password Change

[Vijay Rajah]

Hello,

I'm using Postfix + Dovecot (2.2.6) + roundcube 0.8.x + mysql.

The roundcube webserver is hosted on a different server than the 
Dovecot. The dovecot itself is a replicated 2 node configuration.


I would like to allow users to change the password from roundcube 
interface. All the examples I have seen, assume that roundcube runs in 
the same server as dovecot.


Is there an example / documentation to enable this to work, applying 
reasonable security measures.


-Thanks
Vijay
