You _should_ not have to reconstruct any mailboxes, since the mailbox format hasn't changed (well, a small one was made for POP UIDL, but it'll be upgraded on the fly). You'll want to read doc/install-upgrade.html and do everything that applies from 2.0.16 forward. You'll also want to read doc/install-virtdomains.html to configure your virtdomains. Let me know if you find something that is incorrect or isn't clear so I can fix it. Don't forget that you'll have to install SASLv2 in order to use Cyrus 2.1+. See doc/upgrading.html in the SASLv2 distro for info on upgrading. Ken -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.
