Please ignore this last message about dovecot - my brain was scrambled.
I hadn't installed it yet.

This nightmare of expanding problems has been going on for three
days, since Monday afternoon. Never before have I questioned the
decision to base our business (and our lives) on Debian and I remain
a firm advocate. I also recognise that over successive releases,
accommodating a plethora of configurations becomes harder and that
at some point a step changes in the foundations of the system are
required. I'm presuming that the transition to systemd from
sysv-init was an essential step and understand that backwards
compatibility becomes more challenging as time goes on.
Just when I thought life couldn't get anymore bizarre, dovecot-imapd
and core have disappeared off server_M this morning along with the
config files which had the cert info in. The mail on server_U is
working fine. I've looked in the apt-log and there's no indication it
was uninstalled which is not surprising because it was working fine in
the early hours of this morning.
