>From Arch:

> The dovecot 2.4 release branch has made breaking changes which result
in it being incompatible with any <= 2.3 configuration file.

> Thus, the dovecot service will no longer be able to start until the
configuration file was migrated, requiring manual intervention.

> For guidance on the 2.3-to-2.4 migration, please refer to the
following upstream documentation:
[Upgrading Dovecot CE from 2.3 to 
2.4](https://doc.dovecot.org/latest/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html)

> Furthermore, the dovecot 2.4 branch no longer supports their
replication feature, it was removed.
> For users relying on the replication feature or who are unable to
perform the 2.4 migration right now, we provide alternative packages
available in [extra]:

> -  dovecot23
> -  pigeonhole23
> -  dovecot23-fts-elastic
> -  dovecot23-fts-xapian

> The dovecot 2.3 release branch is going to [receive critical security
fixes](https://dovecot.org/mailman3/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/3P45L76DOC3NKUNSSPIXQNKINGOCYH5K/)
from upstream until stated otherwise.
