IMHO, you should create the config from scratch with help from the upgraded one. Esp. because "Basically we use the default config options" should not pose too much effort. Do you know, still, what you've changed in the v1.2 config? Then re-do those changes in v2.2 and verify each step, that the particular setting is unchanged. Expect some mailbox errors the first time, telling you that some files are broken and needed to re-create. - -- Steffen Kaiser -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBUw20yHD1/YhP6VMHAQIU9QgAgtUAgyOrQvohYj2bmUJNtuVX45kA5GR5 a8+8+WS1cV+UT4ihhlDFAWsAYzYvPL7X6qrcbhVt76myzfesOHxYPC2LfxmBkMVg BJBxb3mRe+XNHZQPzrdxwAY2gvjvCr3q/X9ez35wKMFgAUnuVja8m2NOZgs8sWce ZuaETllU9QcGt5rfP+m/5YEZPSFA4jrLt8BCqa7Q0pJTZBlwUMXRm782Psfh0+84 34dxz2FhiA3cJlbRFQYKEI1kkMGcRtm9Lu3UBUrGu9mMyTVxLx9hJkr9M40aHFdh V+3WRGYZm5evLEtMnBxeH9XxOFEu7Bo5xiJaC9C5TX5LWITuAlJfXg== =R3m6 -END PGP SIGNATURE-

You should at least have read these wiki articles: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0 http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.1 http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.2 According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.2 Downgrading can be done fully safely to v2.1.16, not to versions before, because of attribute and cache file changes. So it is probably better to do the upgrade step-by-step, from stable to stable version, or have a good backup. Regards Daniel
[Dovecot] Upgrading from 1.2.x -> 2.2.x in one step possible
Hi, after some off-ML discussions to and some reconsiderations, we might do the "big jump" from our current 1.2.17 to the atrpms 2.2. From googling and reading the dovecot upgrade wiki I don't see any (big) pitfalls. Basically we use the default config options, mbox, pop3s/imaps on RH EL 5. So "just" run the upgrade-config script, fingers crossed and thats it? Ii it possible to do such a big step form 1.2 to 2.2? Thanks for comments and suggestions .
