It removes neomail
It removes cppop ?
Is there any help files for this new way of working ?
Is this a temp thing that will be changed back or is this gonna be the way forward from now ?
Anything else we should know before we update ?
Thx

1. Physical actions of the conversion are:
uw-imap (cpimap) is disabled
cppop is disabled
neomail is disabled
existing mbox mailboxes are converted to maildir format
existing IMAP subfolders are converted to maildir format
courier-imap (+pop3) os installed
exim is updated to include integration with courier imap
2. If you want documentation on the new imap and pop server you can get it from the courier-imap site:
http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/
3. It's the way forward. The new system has several benefits, which include better performance; improved mailbox locking; simultaneous IMAP account access; use of open source code. I would imagine that cPanel will continue to support mbox, but will switch to maildir as the default soon.
4. No, just be aware of the above.
