Dovecot upgrade problems

For a while i have no problems running dovecot 2.0.x until 2.1.2 if i am not mistaken i wasn't having no problem at all until today while updating into dovecot 2.1.4, what's the new params or variables do i need to changes in this config ?

# 2.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 3.0.4 i686
first_valid_gid = 5000
first_valid_uid = 5000
mail_debug = yes
managesieve_notify_capability = mailto
managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave
#mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u/
namespace {
  hidden = yes
  inbox = yes
  location =
  prefix = INBOX.
  separator = .
  type = private
}
passdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
  driver = sql
}
plugin {
  sieve = /home/vmail/sieve/%Ld/%Ln/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_dir = /home/vmail/sieve/%Ld/%Ln
  sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags +spamtest +spamtestplus +relational +comparator-i;ascii-numeric
}
protocols = imap sieve
service auth {
  unix_listener auth-master {
    mode = 0600
    user = vmail
  }
}
service imap-login {
  inet_listener imap {
    port = 0
  }
}
service managesieve-login {
  inet_listener sieve {
    port = 4190
  }
  inet_listener sieve_deprecated {
    port = 2000
  }
  service_count = 1
  vsz_limit = 64 M
}
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/server.crt
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/server.key
userdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
  driver = sql
}
protocol imap {
  imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep
}
protocol lda {
  auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
  hostname = domain.com
  lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes
  lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes
  log_path = /var/log/dovecot-local-deliver.log
  mail_plugins = quota sieve
  postmaster_address = admin@domain.com
  sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
}

The log

Re: Dovecot upgrade problems

Last log msg line says it could be the "hidden = yes" setting. Not sure. I suggest to reconfigure from plain scratch on major updates. There's also an upgrade doc in the pkg shipped.

Re: Dovecot upgrade problems

Just found something similar on the dovecot mailing list in the 2.1.4 release thread. Look over there.

Re: Dovecot upgrade problems

Why the current package hasn't tagged as broken?, i suppose i need to wait for 2.1.5 to be released, i don't want to messed up my system by compiled by my own.

EDIT:

I've found out the solutions, rearranged the managesieve params into proper protocol sieve tag, and disable hidden.

namespace {
  separator = .
  prefix = INBOX.
  #hidden = yes
  inbox = yes
  location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u/
  type = private
}
