Not really. MySQL isn't like PostgreSQL with respect to its database files. It doesn't require a dump/restore during upgrade. Upgrading MySQL is generally as simple as dropping in the new binaries and maybe making a few modifications to the configuration. It's more of a problem if there are backwards-compatibility issues with respect to the SQL implementation or something. Of that, I can't speak. But that will only be a problem if the database is being used for something else in parallel with DBMail (which might be a significant fraction of the userbase for all I know, so it's certainly a consideration). -- Kevin Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED]
