I'm no MySQL expert, but I'd expect that you could dump the data in a
'generic' form and load from that. I'd be more concerned about the table
definitions (schema) than the MySQL versions, as they might have changed.
I'd definitely compare them to see (what version of vpopmail is on the old
server?). If the tables are different, I'd look into unloading just the
data, and use a script (you'd have to write/tailor one, but it's been done
before) to read the data and use vadduser to add them on the new side.
That'd be the safest route.
