dovecot - May 2012 - Converting Dovecot.conf file from Dovecot 1.x to Dovecot 2.x (Dovecot configured with work with MySQL and Postfix)

Hi Freelancers,

I want to convert this Dovecot configuration file for Dovecot 1.x to a
dovecot file for Dovecot 2.x

============================= /etc/dovecot.conf
===============================protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "
mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir

ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem

namespace private {
    separator = .
    prefix = INBOX.
    inbox = yes
}

protocol lda {
    log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log
    auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
    postmaster_address = postmaster at example.com
}

protocol pop3 {
    pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
}

auth default {
    user = root

    passdb sql {
        args = /etc/dovecot-sql.conf
    }

    userdb static {
        args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
    }

    socket listen {
        master {
            path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
            mode = 0600
            user = vmail
        }

        client {
            path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
            mode = 0660
            user = postfix
            group = postfix
        }
    }
}

==========================================================================
I run CentOS 6 on my server and I am trying to get my Dovecot to work with
MySQL and Postfix to handle multiple virtual domains/users.

I am currenty following the instructions here:
http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-centos-5
but the instructions are for Dovecot 1.x.

Thanks in advance.

why two different posts on the same subject only an hour apart?

I repeat:

Why don't you use the *actual dovecot* documentation, instead of asking 
someone here to help you update *someone else's* tutorial...

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/#Dovecot_configuration

or maybe

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading

And it doesn't work? Why not?

Works okay in v2.0.20 and newer at least. Of course, it complains about obsolete
settings. But running it through doveconf like it suggests seems to give an
equivalent config that would work fine without warnings.
