There is some upgrade procedure or will I do a new installation ? If I can upgrade, can I go directly from 2000 to 2004 ? Is it possible to leave both version and only activate the 2004 when I am sure about the good installation ?
As long as there are no modifications to your copy of 2000, upgrading to the current version (2004f) is as straightforward as compiling the new sources and replacing the imapd binary.
If there are modifications to your copy of 2000, and you depend upon those modifications, then you will have to copy those modifications to 2004f first. Problems may arise if your copy of the older version was modified by a third party, and you don't know what those modifications are.
Unless you have special needs, I recommend that you not run a modified version, and instead run the unmodified distribution directly from UW. That way, you can always upgrade easily without having to worry about losing a modification.
