[HowTo] Replace courier with dovecot

[aseques]

There are two different guides to install dovecot and migrate from courier.
.- The guide for 1.2 + quota on db (recomended) at here
.- The (unsupported) guide for dovecot < 1.2 here

Also I will try to keep here an updated copy of the ispcp-dovecot-mngr (mandatory for anything newer than 1.0.0RC7 due to changes in password encryption) in this thread so It's easy to find and reference from other places.
There use to be a thread about the migration from courier to dovecot in here, but it has been closed.

Known issues

None at the moment

Fixed issues

ispcp-dovecot-mngr should be in trunk
The script to validate users should be in the main source tree instead of this forum page, so all the users could download it alltogether with ispcp.

Fixed in r3861


UPDATE: The script allows now to use usernames in capitals (some users would enter Test@example.com instead of test@example.com), remember that your mail_location should be something like

Code:

mail_location = maildir:%h

so it will retieve the home from database and bypass the case sensitivity problems.
