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?

Thanks,

SteveT
