updating from 2.4(!) to modern cyrus, some tech questions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




G'day,

I've got an old Cyrus 2.4.x install that I want to move to a more modern cyrus.

Reading through this :

https://www.cyrusimap.org/3.0/imap/download/upgrade.html#upgrade-by-replicating

I have used unix sep, so in place is a no-no. (why it wasn't the default in the first place?!)

One of the things it says is to check with mbexamine as to the format of the emails.

Here's an example :

Examining user/carl@XXXXXX...
 Mailbox Header Info:
  Path to mailbox: /var/spool/imap/domain/XXXXXXXX/user/carl
  Mailbox ACL: carl@XXXXXXX lrswipcda
  Unique ID: 44e86fb34ba0c00f
  User Flags: $Label5 Junk NonJunk $Forwarded $MDNSent $label1 $label2 $label3 $
label4

 Index Header Info:
  Generation Number: 4711
  Minor Version: 12
  Header Size: 128 bytes  Record Size: 96 bytes
  Number of Messages: 10787  Mailbox Size: 950346472 bytes
  Last Append Date: (1631144700) Thu Sep  9 09:45:00 2021
  UIDValidity: 1268826127  Last UID: 709480
  Deleted: 0  Answered: 1114  Flagged: 1
  Mailbox Options: POP3_NEW_UIDL
  Last POP3 Login: (0) Thu Jan  1 10:00:00 1970
  Highest Mod Sequence: 1450920


 Message Info:
000001> UID:00099225   INT_DATE:1385363079 SENTDATE:1385341200 SIZE:1758
      > HDRSIZE:1556   LASTUPD :1385371111 SYSFLAGS:00000011 LINES:12
      > CACHEVER:3 GUID:df791095ea91d83e5aecdfc4cb3f3bcb98128cd1 MODSEQ:135015
      > USERFLAGS: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000



and then it goes into each email

The minor version is good!

The doco says :

If your old installation contains mailboxes or messages that are older than 2.4, they may not have GUID fields in their indexes (index version too old), or they may have their GUID field set to zero. 3.0 will not accept message replications without valid matching GUIDs, so you need to fix this on your old installation first.

Is the  GUID field in the "Message Info" section the one that matters? Is it safe to assume that if the oldest messages I can find, have this, that the whole thing will be ok?

Thank you

Carl
