This is no longer supported in cyrus 2.2.x dB formats are specified only
in the configuration file.

You need to run cvt_cyrusdb_all after changing the configuration.

This is what I would to do convert the format if the cyrsus convert db
app isn't working..

as the cyrus user run

ctl_mboxlist -d > mboxlist.txt

then change the configuration for the mboxlist in the cyrus
configuration file..
delete the mailboxes.db (would be wise to have cyrus  NOT running at
this point)
then run

ctl_mboxlist -u < mboxlist.txt

That will dump and undump the database and change formats.
