I have not tried but cyrus imapd 2.4 should convert automagically from old db4.x to new version or to skiplist. From 2.4 changelog - All databases are now default skiplist, and ctl_cyrusdb will automatically convert database type on startup. http://www.cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.0/changes.php -- Cordiali saluti Alessandro Bono _______________________________________________ Pkg-Cyrus-imapd-Debian-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-cyrus-imapd-debian-devel
