Patrick,

  I have tried to do the conversion from db4 to skiplist for the
cyrus-imap
compiled with db4, but, there is a error message:
# ./cvt_cyrusdb mailboxes.db db4 mailboxes.skiplist skilist
fatal error: unknown old backend
Why doesnt it recognize db4? I have to compile with some other parameter,
like
--with-mboxlist-db=db4 ?
Thanks

I think you will need two versions of cvt_cyrusdb! One linked with db4 
to do the conversion from db4 to skiplist and another binary linked 
against db3 with which to convert from skiplist back to berkeley.
