I don't use sieve, and I haven't set up any sort of 'murder' environment 
(which I am largely unfamiliar with). I don't know a lot about Berkeley 
DB, other than it is an offline sort of database (it isn't a server, but 
a data storage engine, for lack of better words). I am not familiar with 
the Berkeley related commands.

The SLES 10 is going on the same physical computer, and yes, it will be 
an x86_64 build of Linux.

I could re-enter the users, which isn't the worst thing... my biggest 
concern is the mail itself (as most of our users do use IMAP).
