Hi! I want to upgrade a Dovecot installation from 0.99.14 to 1.1.15, so I had a look at the following wiki article: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading?action=show&redirect=UpgradingDovecot The article http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0 says something about .customflags -> dovecot-keywords and .subscriptions -> subscriptions change/conversion: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0#Subscriptions http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0#Keywords Do I understand it correctly that when directly upgrading from 0.99 to 1.1, Dovecot does the subscriptions renaming but not the keywords renaming and conversion, but that when I manually rename all .customflags files to dovecot-keywords, it does the format conversion of that file automatically? Is there anything else what's important to note for such an upgrade? The system is using Maildir as the mailbox format and only local storage (no NFS etc.). -- Regards, Wolfram Schlich <wschlich at gentoo.org> Gentoo Linux * http://dev.gentoo.org/~wschlich/

If you want to make things easier, upgrade to v1.0 first. Or if you don't actually use any IMAP keywords (find ~/Maildir -name '*:2,*[a-z]*'), you might just as well delete the files.> Is there anything else what's important to note for such an upgrade? > The system is using Maildir as the mailbox format and only > local storage (no NFS etc.).Other than the keyword/subscription changes, there shouldn't be problems.

I did this same conversion about a year ago: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-March/029325.html> Is there anything else what's important to note for such an upgrade?I do not remember any big problems with the conversion. However, lots of small problems with Dovecot just disappeared when getting rid of 0.99 ... Anders.
