It would, but I found/fixed the problem already.
I had to set the following:
protocol imap {
disable_plaintext_auth=no
}
The default has changed from "no" to "yes" between 1.1.20 and 2.0.1, but
the conversion rout
This is definitely an operator error issue, but I'm under a bit of pressure.
I updated our 1.1.20 installation to 2.0.1 over the weekend and
discovered this morning that it's insisting on TLS imap on port 143 as
well as port 993

Thanks in advance

Is there any way of enforcing a Maildir per-folder message limit in

We're finding major performance hits once a threshold of files/directory
is exceeded. This applies across all common filesystems with the
threshold differing depending on the FS. GFS2 pretty much _STOPS_ for 10
