I know this guide but last time i had to upgrade between 1.2 to 2.0 it
was totally a mess, as

doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > dovecot-2.conf

didn't output anything.

additionally, this is for upgrading, but what about mailbox migration
(via rsync)? Dovecout would preserve the UID and anything else to
avoid a new download on clients?

Move dovecot between servers

[Gandalf Corvotempesta]

Hi to all
I have a very old dovecot server (1.2.15) with about 195GB used and
1081 email accounts.
I have to move this server to another one with contextual dovecot upgrade.

Anyone did this before? Any advice? Obviously, existing emails *must
not* be downloaded twice by existing clients (outlook, thunderbird,
...)

I have no access to customer's clients, only to my server.
