If you have concerns you could break something critical, it is always a common way to test before with a test installation. Do it here too and follow the indicated steps. It is indeed very simple. Just yesterday I added some instrcutions in the dovecot wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/PrebuiltBinaries There is too a link to more details about the migration. > E.g. what would happen, if I do a simple rpm -ivh of the dovecot.rpm?

But I do not recommend this way, because you will get a lot of horrible problems if mailboxes are used through both servers. Do yourself a favour and migrate in one step. > Götz Reinicke Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG key 1024D/ED695653 1999-07-13 Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 (Tettnang) kernel 2.6.8-1.521smp Serendipity 16:09:28 up 5 days, 18:35, load average: 0.08, 0.19, 0.17
