That's a lot work to make (650 users). Isn't it possible to use the admin-user to copy everything? Which reminds me of my wish to upgrade from sarge to etch. - From Cyrus 2.1.18 to Cyrus 2.2.13. AFAIK there was a db change involved, or? Has anyone done this with his server, any problems to expect? With regards, Paul van der Vlis.

Seen is per-user in Cyrus, so you won't see it if the admin user does the copying. (and I hate losing seen information!)
