The recent post on the best imap has made me ask the question, how do/should I move my Cyrus Imap files from one server to another. I'll need to be upgrading my suse 10.0 server to 10.3 soon, and I've never had to move my existing mail before. I haven't decided if I'll change boxes, or just do a new install on a different partition on the same box, but in any case will be a clean new install of 10.3 (assuming I can get my graphics issues worked out).
If I don't change boxes, I won't be able to have both installs running at the same time, so how do I move the files, or more specifically, which files do I move?
Many thanks,

One method is to copy your mail to local folders in an email client and then copy them back to the imap server.
The general idea is to copy the mailbox files and directory structure over, dump the databases on the old server and import them on the new server. I have successfully done this a few times. Let me know if you need more detailed help.
