changing namespace on a running server

[Eugen Wintersberger]

Hi there
 I am new to this mailing list and hope you can help me. I use the cyrus
IMAP server using the common namespace scheme. Now, since we need shared
mail boxes, I have to switch to the alternate scheme. 
Can I do this with a running server? Meaning: when I change now the
configuration and restart the server do I have to expect any kind of
data loos?

regards
