Description

(Running the latest :edge image.)

I accepted the v10.4 PR too fast and got the paycheck :D I just went over my logs and saw the line

dovecot: auth: Error: stats: open(old-stats-user) failed: No such file or directory

so I had a look again. Turns out, the old stats plugin is deprecated and it suffices to disable the new Dovecot stats. The old stats plugin was opt-in (via mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota) but we have not configured this anywhere so the old stats were never active. I guess Dovecot gets confused when it encounters the config for the old plugin which is not even enabled.

Nothing serious but nothing that should be in your log either. I would like to see this in v10.4 so there is no actual (semi-)regression on a stable release tag. Maybe someone can even confirm?
