dovecot - May 2006 - more unexpected results from 0.99.13 -> 1.0beta8 upgrade

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Just to give some more information about this:

Apparently some of our POP3 users are saying that when they checked for
new mail this morning that all the mail that was saved on the server was
downloaded again as unread mail.

I followed the guidelines in the wiki [1]  with regards to upgrading
from 0.99 to 1.0, made sure the .subscriptions and .customflags files
were renamed to subscriptions and dovecot-keywords respectively yet the
subscriptions were not maintained (i.e. users had to re-subscribe after
the update)

here's my config information, can you give me any hints as to what went
wrong?

Looks like this wasn't mentioned in the wiki (although it was kind of
mentioned in the config file):

0.99.x uses "%v.%u" format here. But if you already changed it,
changing
it back would cause the users again to get the mails twice.
