Courier IMAP to Dovecot Migration
Hi, I have done a very stupid thing. I have migrated from Courier IMAP and POP to Dovecot without reading about the migration process. ( I resolve not to repeat it again).
Now it has been 2 weeks. Webmail seems to work fine. I have problems with POP3.
POP3 clients don't remove messages from the server, and there are multiple download problems.
I just want to know, whether its now too late to do the migration of the index and control file used by Courier?
Thanks in advance.
