So, mail queue handling will then be done by dovecot-lda instead of exim4.

Will mailq still give me results the same way?


Also, I do the following sometimes:
  exim4 -M msgid   # retry delivery
  exim4 -Mg msgid  # cancel delivery

  and others.... -Mvh  -Mvb and -Mvl

Will they all work the same or are there new ways to learn if I use
dovecot-lda ?
