I think you should be able to copy them across with the rest of the mail spool using rsync, but the default database format for seen might have changed. The default in 2.4 appears to be skiplist. Check the setting seenstate_db in imapd.conf. Andy ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
