always a very good idea.
2a) stop your MTA (postfix?) to prevent mail from bouncing.
If I stop Postfix my mail has no place to go.
If I stop dbmail and keep postfix running isn't postfix just going to
queue the mail (It can still look up the aliases from the db) till I
start the new dbmail pkg?

4) run the migrate_2.0_to_2.1 script in /usr/share/doc/dbmail-mysql/examples
5) run 'dbmail-util -ay' to prime the header caches.
6) edit /etc/defaults/dbmail to select the services you want to run
7) check proper delivery: cat message.txt|dbmail-smtp -u username -m folder
What is message.txt is that just something which comes with the new pkg?
8) /etc/init.d/dbmail restart
You mean /etc/init.d/dbmail start or do I not have to uninstall the
dbmail2-mysql pkg first?
9) test availability of imap and/or pop3
10) restart your MTA and keep an eye on mail.log.
11) done.

NO! Dbmail does not require dump/reload.
So when I install the new pkg it will detect that there is already a
dbmail db and not touch it.
> 5) restore /etc/dbmail/ (Do we have new config options?)
NO! Allow dpkg to install the maintainers version of dbmail.conf, and
afterwards check the settings (trace levels, min_spare_children,
max_spare_children, etc...)
Should I or can I remove libsieve before I install dbmail-sieve, in
other words do they have anything to do with each other?
