What's your Linux/BSD distribution name and release version?
iRedMail will install Dovecot-2 on several distributions, includes:
- RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux 6.x
- openSUSE
- Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04 LTS
- Gentoo
- FreeBSD
- OpenBSD
So only few distributions and releases stays on Dovecot-1.2:
- RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux 5.x
- Debian 6

As far as i know, there's no Dovecot-2 in apt repositories of Debian 6 (stable).

You are totally right. http://wiki.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries . Curious if anyone has used "testing" repos and had any success. Could be a long long time before its in "stable" . Is dovecot 2.0 really that different from debian 6 to Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04 LTS ?
Thanks for the discussion.
May i know what features you need in Dovecot-2 and not exists in v1.2?
Dovecot-1.2 has great performance, and quite stable. 
I know there has been a lot of bug fixes and that sort of improvements to 2.0. I was really looking to try dsync as I have been having difficulty migrating a Kerio 6.5 mail server mail via imap. When trying to see if dsync was an option i figured out dovecot had that feature in the 2.0 later version.
I'v been having limited success using imapsync to migrate mail. I get all the mailboxes from Kerio, but Inbox. It doesn't map right to the postfix/dovecot maildir, and I do know there is some mapping commands. I just haven't figured that out yet. I'm real close but so far away if you know what I mean.
My inquiry about debian and dovecot 2.0 is all from having this migration problem. And I'm pretty new to postfix/dovecot. Any help you could offer would be wonderful. Much thanks.
How about setup one more iRedMail server with the distribution which provides Dovecot-2, e.g. a virtual machine in VMware/VirtualBox/Xen/KVM/etc, then try dsync. if it works, try to copy this migrated mailboxes to your Debian server. It works again, migrate all mailboxes if you want.
thats a pretty good idea. ill try that. thanks!
Hi,
I installed the dovecot 2 in debian (squeeze) from backports packages, and I modified in IREDMAIL_INSTALL_DIR/conf/dovecot this line
export DOVECOT_VERSION='2' (from 1 to 2)
add http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main to /etc/apt/sources.list and install dovecot-imap dovecot-pop3d with this command : aptitude -t squeeze-backports install dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d
For me, I installed before launching install script (iRedMail.sh) -- I think if you don't install it before, it will cause dependencies problem with the squeeze packages
aptitude -t squeeze-backports install dovecot-mysql dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-common dovecot-sieve dovecot-core dovecot-managesieved
I seems that it works
