Eg. I didn't migrate from 2.1 to 2.4 directly. I would suggest you check on the cyrus-imap mailing list (see bottom of email) for tips. Installing it is simple, but there are a few changes wit= h some of the files. A safer method would be running the 2 versions in parallel and using imapsync or something similar to copy the email over to the new version. -- Joost cyrus-imap list info: List-Id: Discussion group for Cyrus email system List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: ,
