no you do *not*

blabla - nobody talks about the mailserver

the topic is *internal* data of *local* software
you may have luck and nothing happens

with bad luck you even won't realize that there are new mails you never face
because of happy upgrade/downgrade internal caches are accessed with
*undefined bahvior*

any software on that planet will recognize upgrades and convert *internal* data
but nobody will give you a warranty how the same software behaves after a 
downgrade

yes, in most cases nothing bad happens
in rare cases you recognize the problem and find a solution
in some cases you even don't recognize that internal things are slightly going 
wrong
