The migration is done so far. |

There is again a new SSL cert for IMAP/POP, fingerprints[1]. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Note: The INBOX namespace (which came from courier) has been disabled |
| 32 |
so you may have to fix some subscriptions in your mail client. |
| 33 |
E.g. INBOX.Drafts is now just "Drafts". |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
There is also sieve/managesieve support, you can enable it by using |
| 36 |
| "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver" in your .forward [1]. |
| 37 |
This will disable procmail of course but it will also improve the |
| 38 |
performance/speed. |
