Ok, up until now, I've only always allowed IMAPS connections to
dovecot on port 993.
I want to also start allowing clients to user port143+STARTTLS, but I
walso want to make sure both ports are locked down to ONLY allow
secure connections.
And I just had an idea, but don't know if it is possible.
Can I offer one namespace on one port (ie, SSL/993), and a different
namespace on the other port (STARTTLS/143)?
This would be a simple and effective way to migrate users from one
namespace to another... have them change both the port/security setting
and the namespace prefix at the same time, then restart the client... boom.
And this suggests it is possible:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Namespaces
The section name in namespaces (e.g. namespace sectionname { .. } is
used only internally within configuration. It's not required at all, but
it allows you to update an existing namespace (like how
15-mailboxes.conf does) or have userdb override namespace settings for
specific users (namespace/sectionname/prefix=foo/).
But the question is, how exactly to implement it, and I can't see from
the docs exactly how to go about it.
