I'm trasferring from 2.1.10 to 2.2.10, it could be possible the index file
format is changed?
Is there an utility to "hack" a cyrus.index file?
It would be useful, for example, export and import the uidvalidity number,
some of my users (an entire university) have thousands of messages and,
sorry, most of them use pop3, so a uidvalidity change will result in a
redownload of all messages.
IMHO the code to deal with different version of cyrus index file should be
sharable, in libcyrus.
