Mike, this means that the I/O hit from upgrading will happen at the time you XFER the mailbox. That's good because you can control the I/O by spreading out your XFERs, if it's even a problem. I moved a lot of mailboxes (30,000+) without really noticing a problem. I did try to perform the

I would wait for 2.5.1, which should be out in a day or so. There were some XFER bugs in 2.5.0. The IO hit will have to be taken regardless, it's just deferred slightly. The 2.5 backend will work with 2.2 proxies just fine, though of course most of the new features won't be visible to your

From 2.3 to 2.4 upgraded automatically. From x to 2.5 doesn't upgrade automatically at the moment. You have to run reconstruct -V max on the folder afterwards. Maybe for the XFER case we should upgrade automatically... I'll talk to Ellie about that when she gets in today. She's the 2.5
