Yes, skiplist should be able to be used for any of the databases that cyrus maintains. We've only explicitly used it with the mailbox list and the seen state however.

Yup, there is now a cvt_cyrusdb program in the imap directory which should be fairly self explanatory in usage (note: I need to write a man page still). basically, you do something like: stop old cyrus copy in new binaries cvt_cyrusdb mailboxes.db db3 mailboxes.db.new skiplist mv mailboxes.db.new mailboxes.db start new cyrus Note that since seen state is maintained in many separate files, you'll need to run cvt_cyrusdb on each of them individually. > Yes, I've played with skiplist too.

If it helps, we're currently planning on deploying skiplist to production for atleast the mailboxes database this weekend. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 235 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
