[HowTo] Replace courier with dovecot

[noel]

hi, perhaps i've found a bug after replacing courier with dovecot. I try to delete some email accounts but i get "Unknown error". Looking in the db mail_users it says:

sys_command() | ERROR: External command '/usr/sbin/makeuserdb' returned '72057594037927935' status !

I figured out that makeuserdb is no longer present on my system. Hence, it's part of courier and according to the wiki 13. Remove courier packages... it has been deleted too. The solution for me was to reinstall courier.

Apart that, with dovecot i am not able to receive emails, maillog says "unknown user". I tried quite a lot of things and settings but nothing worked. I'm about to give up and remove dovecot.
