Hello Mark,
First of all .. thanks by this fast help !!
I am 100% sure my version is the UW original and because of this I will go
ahead with the upgrade.
Let me ask you more something:
If I
-find the imapd file,
-do a backup of this file,
-compile the new one
-ONLY REPLACE the old imapd with the new imapd
-restart inetd service
the imap2004 service will work properly ? and if necessary, I can use the
imapd backuped file
to restore to an old enviroment ?
I mean .. the imapd file is the only thing I need to backup ? Not libraries,
.conf files, other ?
Nice weekend,
Marcelo Galeti

good installation ?
As long as there are no modifications to your copy of 2000, upgrading to
the current version (2004f) is as straightforward as compiling the new
sources and replacing the imapd binary.
If there are modifications to your copy of 2000, and you depend upon those
modifications, then you will have to copy those modifications to 2004f
first. Problems may arise if your copy of the older version was modified
by a third party, and you don't know what those modifications are.
Unless you have special needs, I recommend that you not run a modified
version, and instead run the unmodified distribution directly from UW.
That way, you can always upgrade easily without having to worry about
losing a modification.
