Re: Migrating IMAP from Cyrus v2.2.13 to Cyrus v2.4.17

[Jack Snodgrass via Info-cyrus <info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I read that.. but after 8 hours of trying to get it going I gave up on it.

I the debian 8 / Cyrus 2.5 stuff did not want to process the cyrus 2.4 db files from debian 6.

You can say pretty words like: "may require support for whichever backend you were using" but if all you have is access to apt-get and you have two systems that are YEARS apart in what they have setup.. how do you do this?  Tell me the apt-get install command to run so that  ctl_cyrusdb -r works or it's just words.

Is there a documented process for taking a system from: Cyrus v2.2.13 to Cyrus v2.4.17

I have rsync'd the mail between the two systems.

/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/reconstruct did NOT magically convert the system from the old to the new.

/usr/lib/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -G -f

The 'seen' flags and probably some other flags / acls are not working.

Check the upgrade instructions here:

https://cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.5.3/install-upgrade.php

'ctl_cyrusdb -r' may require support for whichever backend you were using
on the older version (on the new system), such as a legacy berkeleydb
version.
