I've read some of the mailing lists looking for information on this. Thus far, about all I've found is there was a complete rewrite of Dovecot some time back. I'm wondering now is it even possible to use the same mbox's from 0.99.13-3 with version 1.0.15-2? Is there a procedure documented somewhere? Any pointers would be much appreciated.

The old index files won't be used, but mbox format hasn't changed (much). You might have to re-download all mails in your client though.> Is there a procedure documented somewhere?http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0 lists everything important.

Do yourself a favor and install the latest stable (currently 2.0.4)... All modern distros have repositories you can install it from. -- Best regards, Charles

Many consider Dovecot versions older than 1.2.x to be somewhat ancient and as such you may find it difficult to get any help (or at least any help which doesn't begin with "First upgrade to version 1.2.x or better") when using version 1.1.x or older.
