I did the migration and all looks clear.
A few notes from the experience...
The dovecot RPM installs the /etc/dovecot/toaster.conf file which has
the following config by default:
# Settings for 'stock' qmail-toaster
...
protocols = imap pop3
...
This means that dovecot wants to work for imap and pop3 "out of the
box." It wouldn't start until I commented out the pop3 part:
...
protocols = imap #pop3
...
I have no problem using dovecot for both so I followed the qmailtoaster
"Replacing Courier IMAP with Dovecot IMAP" wiki under "Dovecot POP3"
(all of it, uncomment the "# pop3_uido_format = %f" line, clients won't
like reloading 150 duplicate emails...), uncommented the pop3 protocol
and restarted dovecot. Outlook POP3 clients had no errors but,
Thunderbird, Android and iPhone mailers did. It's an easy (client)
setting change to encrypt passwords through SSL or STARTTLS; maybe not a
convenient hiccup but it is far better than plain text password
authentication. The dovecot wiki has a workaround for Thunderbird but,
mine is a small group of clients so it's no great shakes.
I also "Timekeeping" cron job just for good measure...
Thank you for all the help and work! I hope this also answers questions
from others.

Glad it worked out, Thomas.
If you have something to add to the wiki, let us know and we'll get you
a login set up for it. :) This is something that likely many more people
will be dealing with in the future, as dovecot becomes the permanent
replacement for courier-imap and qmail-pop3d.
