The index file format changed between 6.x and 7.x. However, IMail will
automatically recognize if the old index file is present, and will
re-index. So you can run 7.x on a test server, and then copy the 6.x user
folders in without a problem (IMail will recognize that the old format is
present, and automatically update it).
