Installing it is simple, but there are a few changes with 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. Sure, yes. I have to research how to do that for hundreds of mailboxes in one command ... I have 2.4.12 on the newer box already, will look that up asap. Thanks, Stefan

There is an example for this on the project homepage: http://imapsync.lamiral.info/ All you need is the usernames/passwords for the different users.

I would have to extract user/pws from the mysql-DB ... but they are crypted there afaik ... will look at my DB-backups now. I have 2.4.12 on the newer box already, will look that up asap.

[gentoo-user] old cyrus-imapd from overlay
Greets, does anyone have experience with cyrus-imapd on gentoo? I have to migrate an ancient suse-10.1-server, it runs: # rpm -qa | grep cyrus cyrus-sasl-2.1.21-3 cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.21-3 cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-13 portage gives me cyrus-imapd-2.4.12 which is fine but I don't know if upgrading this far is possible without problems. I found the OSSDL-overlay, but cyrus-imapd-2.2.13 fails to build ... * does anyone have experience with upgrading cyrus-imapd? * does anyone have a running older release/ebuild where the migration should be safe? pls no advice to use dovecot etc, the job here is to possibly move over /var/spool/imap and press play (simplified, you get the picture). A change of software might be considered later, right now I have to maintain a running server while moving to newer hardware and OS. Thanks, Stefan
