Re: Dovecot ubuntu upgrade

upgrading the entire OS is a huge step to do and needs a lot of planning I believe smile no time for it right now. so I was looking to upgrade only dovecot if possible.
Thanks.

Re: Dovecot ubuntu upgrade

- Get the latest Dovecot here: https://repo.dovecot.org
- Also tutorial to upgrade Dovecot from 2.2 to 2.3: https://docs.iredmail.org/upgrade.dovecot.2.2-2.3.html

Notes:

- this tutorial was written for FreeBSD at the moment, you may not be able to follow it strictly, but it should offer enough info to help you fix issues/warning/errors in Dovecot log file after package upgrade.
- The SQL/LDAP change is not necessary IF you already upgraded iRedMail to the latest iRedMail-0.9.9, it's part of iRedMail upgrade.
