Well, I tried this and aborted the conversion. The cvt_cyrusdb ran for 10
minutes by which time my 10MB deliver.db file had become a > 1GB
deliver.db.skiplist file.
So I simply moved the current deliver.db and tls_sessions.db aside,
configured imapd.conf for skiplist on them, and then started up. Seems
to working okay so far.

One special note:
The cyrus-imapd package you are using (the package from RHEL4 is based
on
my Invoca package) tries to convert the db files automatically on
startup.
However, the version you have has a bug which prevents it from
converting
all db files correctly. So you may want to convert the existing db files
with cvt_cyrusdb by hand to avoid problems - or update your package to
my
last one from http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/ which has
several other bugs fixed.
Can you tell me exactly what files to convert and how to do it by hand?
/var/lib/imap/tls_sessions.db
/var/lib/imap/deliver.db
I assume I shutdown cyrus, maybe delete those log files if they still
exist, then run cvt_cyrusdb (how?) on some files (which?), then
restart cyrus?
Yes, convert the files like this:
su - cyrus -c "/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cvt_cyrusdb /var/lib/imap/deliver.db
berkeley /var/lib/imap/deliver.db.skiplist skiplist"
mv /var/lib/imap/deliver.db /var/lib/imap/deliver.db.berkeley
mv /var/lib/imap/deliver.db.skiplist /var/lib/imap/deliver.db
the same for tls_sessions.db.
Then, edit /etc/imapd.conf and start cyrus-imapd.
Anyway, if something fails, deliver.db and tls_sessions.db are not really
very important so you could even remove those db files and let cyrus-imapd
start with new empty ones.
