dovecot - May 2012 - Convert from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8?

The server I am running Dovecot on is still using locale = ISO-8859-1 but I am
thinking it is time to convert to UTF-8...
Can I just use convmv to convert all the files in the mailboxes to UTF-8 or is
there anything else I need to do?
Do I need to run iconv to convert the content also or does dovecot/MUA fix this
by it self? (i.e. they display the mail as encoded in ISO-8859-1)



Regards,

BTJ

Dovecot doesn't use locale. You shouldn't do anything to any Dovecot
files.
