Database user ? LDAPHere is an other problem : we don't have uid/gid stored in our LDAP database. Do we have to configure dovecot with a dovecot specific user/group ?
Yes, one or more (for one you have mail_uid/gid settings with v1.1). See http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserIds
no problemMail DB ? Cyrus maildirYou'll have to convert to standard maildir: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/CyrusThanks for the url, I've already seen it before and the script cyrus2courrier seems good but we wonder why you didn't mention imapsync ? (maybe because for mass migration we must have a clear password file?)
Most importantly imapsync doesn't preserve message UIDs. cyrus2courier is also faster since it doesn't have to write all the mail data, just rename the files.
On latest version (1.1.2 currently), no problem, but a newer/full rewrite to provide native sieve capability is in progress, which will provide much better controlCapability ? Sieve / QuotaHigh Performance without hacking conf files !this is one of dovecots strongest points imo...Indeed, we bench cyrus and dovecot from scratch and dovecot seems to be realy fast !
