You may want to do this in two stages. Cyrus provides a lot of tools to upgrade between versions. That being said, you may want to replicate Cyrus-2.0.16 on the new box, and then synch everything over, test, and then upgrade. I typically upgrade by specifying the prefix to be /usr/cyrus-version, then soft link /usr/cyrus -> /usr/cyrus-version. This allows you to back out on most changes without wipeing out your current install.
Hope this helps,

I currently have an olde version of cyrus working:

There are about 150 users and 4 Gbytes of mail on the server.
I have built a newer version on a different box:
name : Cyrus IMAPD
version : v2.1.9 2002/08/30 18:40:23
vendor : Project Cyrus
support-url: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus

tls.db = db3-nosync
I am using PAM ldap on both boxes.
I need to:
1. Move one test users existing email over from the old box to the new box for testing purposes
2. Move everyone's email over from the old box to the new box
I don't think I understand the best way to do this. Could someone either outline the procedure or point me to documentation. What I saw in the cyrus docs didn't seem to help a lot for this, but perhaps I was looking in the wrong place.
Many thanks for any advice.
