dovecot - Oct 2016 - Migrating users from a 2.0.19 to a 2.2.24 installation

Hello,

I am currently still running an older dovecot (2.0.19apple1 on Mac OS X 10.8.5)
and I want to migrate my users to a new server (macOS 10.12 with Server 5, which
contains dovecot 2.2.24 (a82c823)).

Basically, I want to create a new server installation on the new server so I
don't bring any junk over (new user accounts, with the same uid/gid (still
need to figure that one out), but after I have done that I need to move the data
over from the old instalation to the new.

Has anything changed in the formats between 2.0 and 2.2 that will stop me from
doing this?

Thanks,

G

The index files etc.pp. will be updated on the fly. You should check if 
your mailbox storage format is supported, still.

Check out http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading

If have moved Maildir with Sieve with no trouble.
