What changes are you referring to?


I've just looked over this page:

https://doc.dovecot.org/main/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html#removed-features

and I'm seeing some things I like, some I don't know about, some that
may bite me, but nothing about removing features that I use.


Global ACLs are a PITA, and they're changing how to implement ACLs, so
the ability isn't gone, just different.

IMAP SETQUOTA is going away, but user_db / pass_db (userdb_quota_rule=)
is where I set those anyway. Don't think it'll affect me?


The "Backends and Plugins" section will require careful parsing at some
point.
