You should be able to determine which version of Berkeley DB your imapd 
is linked against with an "ldd `which imapd`" or whatever the equivilent 
is in your OS (you didn't mention which OS you are running on).  You 
should be able to determine the version of db library which created the 
files with a "file <db-filename>" command.  Most modern version of the 
file command and associated data will properly identify Berekely DB file 
versions.
