Hi Aki and Remo, switch from vpopmail driver to SQL driver (if you are using vpopmail with mysql as backend) is very simple. First you need to setup the right query for vpopmail database: # cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext ### Vpopmail driver = mysql connect = host=192.168.1.2 dbname=vp

Re: Headsup on feature removal

With these planned changes, you mention they will be removed from 'core', so is the intention to allow more of these legacy plugins to more to their own repo's for those that might still want to use them? Eg, more in the the path of plug-in architecture? Just curious for clarity. Oh, and hav
