It has nothing to do with the IMAP server and if/where/when/how/why mail is stored on your server. The only things you should back up are the squirrelmail source code, including the plugins directory therein, and the squirrelmail configuration file(s), wherever you have them located. If you want to be extra safe, you could also back up the data directory (or database if you put prefs there). Once you confirm the upgrade worked, you probably don't need your backup of the old source code. > # ls /home > user1 user2 user3 user3 user4 ftp etc. > > > > # ls /home/user1/ > Maildir > > > > # ls /home/user1/Maildir/ > courierimapkeywords courierimapsubscribed courierimapuiddb cur new > tmp > > > etc. > > > # ls /home/ftp/ > welcome.msg > > > > # find / -name squirrelmail -type d > /usr/local/squirrelmail > /var/local/squirrelmail > /etc/squirrelmail > > > > # ls /usr/local/squirrelmail/ > data temp www > > > data and temp are empty directories > > > # ls /usr/local/squirrelmail/www/ > AUTHORS configure doc include plugins src > ChangeLog contrib functions index.php po themes > class COPYING help INSTALL README UPGRADE > config data images locale ReleaseNotes > > > > # ls /var/local/squirrelmail/ > attach data > > > attach is empty directory > > > data directory containing users' .abook .pref > > > # ls /etc/squirrelmail/ > apache.conf config_local.php default_pref index.php > config_default.php config.php filters_setup.php > sqspell_config.php > > > > Previously by mistake I have another set of users on:- > > # ls /var/mail/ > user1 user2 user3 user4 etc. Maildir > > They are doc files not directories.
