dovecot - Mar 2005 - Upgrade to new server question

I'm vainly trying to get a new server ready to become the default mail 
server.  We have a SAN, so I don't need to move the mailboxes (I can 
mount the same partition from both machines), but the question is what 
version of dovecot to load.

I'm assuming that I cannot run both 0.99.14 and 1.00.x on the same 
maildirs (the indexes differ?).  However, is it safe for me to mount the 
same maildirs from two different boxes?

No if you are not mounting mail spool over NFS with single node accessing
the SAN. If you wish to have multiple nodes accessing the same disk area
from SAN you need clustering file system like Polyserve PSFS or Redhat GFS.
