Dovecot upgrade

Sat Oct 3 12:06:04 UTC 2009

Dovecot does not ever overwrite your configs, i can not however speak for 
what the package maintainers of dovecot for ubuntu/debian and whatever 
they might change, these maintainers like the other posters who commented 
on this thread, have nothing to do with dovecot development.

You are best doing your homework to ensure nothing on your end got messed 
up, since there has been no influx of anyone complaining about what you 
have asked either here or on dovecot list, it seems apparent the issue is 
isolated to you.

The comments from others are what i expect of the list idiots here, 
however reading your original post, by attacking dovecot dev team members, 
you are no better.

For a good production server with long term support, look at slackware 
or openbsd
