Hi all, I need to thoroughly test Dovecot 2.4.2 on a Virtual Machine before upgrading my real machine. Please tell me whether you think this plan is good...
I install Void Linux, my Daily Driver Distro, on a Qemu VM. I also install Dovecot and Claws-Mail. Then I copy part or all of my current (2.3.21.1 (d492236fa0)) maildir to the VM, and work until I can configure a Dovecot on the VM that serves IMAP only, SSL only (ssl = required on 2.3.x), such that Claws-Mail can read, search and delete messages on the VM just the same as on 2.3.21.1 on my daily driver. I'm using few or no Dovecot features other than using it as a Maildir driven IMAP server. Maildir is a must because I write to it from Procmail, and Procmail doesn't write every kind of mail storage. Does this sound like a good, safe way to test before upgrading?
