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/dovecot@dovecot.org/thread/3P45L76DOC3NKUNSSPIXQNKINGOCYH5K/)
from upstream until stated otherwise.
