Another interesting question is : IS skiplist 32 vs 64 bit dependant ? Then how to transfers annotation.db between incompatible platform ? "flat" format is excluded because annotation could contain binary data, and flat is not a "permitted" format in imapd.conf. Then should I convert into berkeley DB and then make a BDB dump ? Then restore the BDB on the target and convert it back to skiplist ? Or does it exist something simpler ?
