Befor 2.4.x the seen information was stored in extra files in /var/imap/user
Did you copy these files too?

Ah, it's an old Debian system. These files are stored in
eg. /var/lib/cyrus/user/t/testuser.seen. Where do I have to copy this
file on the new server to? And there is a testuser.sub in the same dir,
which contains the subfolders. What about this file?


The seen information is now included in the cyrus.* files (i think in the index file), but upgrading form an older version with reconstruct should check the .seen file at the old location. The location depends on your setting of configdirectory, fulldirhash
and hashimapspool in impad.conf.

The handling of the sub file has not changed. But you should copy them to the new server,
if you want to keep the subscription information.


You should check https://cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.4.17/install-upgrade.php
