But it doesn't preserve the UIDs, which means that all the cached
information in Gnus is useless, so that effectively it will be a new
server as seen from Gnus.
Hm... preserved flags or a new nnimap server, that's the question, I
guess...?
Also, I have some archive folders with more than 30k of messages. I'm
unsure if that will take a very long time.
And another also: I planned to install dovecot on the same old server
cyrus has been running. But again: that's probably not worse than
having dovecot run on a non-standard port for a while.
