And have a nice day! Ok thanks a lot for your explanations, I was supposing most of it, but it's a lot better to have a confirmation with full details as you did, that's very nice... I hope it will also help others... A last question : My current version is roundcubemail-0.1.1 and I'm gonna install roundcubemail-0.2.2. Do you think I can keep the "old" mysql database, will 0.2.2 understand/be compatible with the old (0.1.1) database ? (Of course I will try, just to have your opinion) Thanks a lot for your help Have a nice (replace with whichever time of the day it is for you : evening/day/night) :-) Denis _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/
