You _should_ not have to reconstruct any mailboxes, since the mailbox format 
hasn't changed (well, a small one was made for POP UIDL, but it'll be upgraded 
on the fly).  You'll want to read doc/install-upgrade.html and do everything 
that applies from 2.0.16 forward.

You'll also want to read doc/install-virtdomains.html to configure your 
virtdomains.  Let me know if you find something that is incorrect or isn't 
clear so I can fix it.

Don't forget that you'll have to install SASLv2 in order to use Cyrus 2.1+.  
See doc/upgrading.html in the SASLv2 distro for info on upgrading.
