Thanks Chris. That seemed to work. So to append to Noel's steps below: - install james-2.1.2 into /opt/james-2.1.2 - open current and new config.xml - view color coded difference (good tools help) - merge changes (in my case, a couple of lines) - delete environment.xml and assembly.xml (I wanted the new versions) - service james stop - change /opt/james symlink to reference /opt/james-2.1.2 - mv /opt/james-2.1/apps/james /opt/james/apps - If using a file based repository, cp -r /opt/james2.1/app/james/var /opt/james/apps/james - service james start

If you're using a file based repository, I think you can just copy over the "var" folder. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Danifo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2003 11:01 AM > To: 'James Users List' > Subject: RE: updating my james version > > > Noel- > How about: > > migrating exsiting users > migrating existing emails > > ? > > -Mike > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Noel J.
