Butch, depending on the size of your database it is a totally painful operation. Especially if you data is in good shape.

Hope you meant "painless". :-) The database is ~1GB. Any ideas on how much time to convert this?

- make sure your mysql server has innodb enabled and has room to spare
for the tablespace (the ibdata files).
- shut down your mta and all dbmail daemons.
- run dbmail-maintenance with all checks and fixes enabled.
- dump your data into a backupfile
- load your data into a test database (dbmailtest)

The rest of this looks much less painless than I thought it would be reading the docs. InnoDB vs MyISAM won't be a problem with the earlier version of dbmail?
