Migrate cyrus 2.3.8 to 2.4.17

[jayesh shinde]

Hi Giuseppe ,

I want to learn few points from your migration scenario.

Few days back I migrated my  32 bit cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-12.el5_7.2   to 64 
bit cyrus-imapd-2.4.17-6.el6.x86_64 server
I faced the below problems , how you are handling the below points on 64 
bit server  in your case ?

1) How do you  maintained the seen-unseen mail flags.
2) I came across duplicate email download issue in email client .
    When IP of 32bit server shifted to 64 bit server , then for those 
client who have setup POP3 account with "leave copy on server" in email 
clients for them emails got download again.

On 64 bit server there was no changes in  /etc/hosts and DNS A records 
and /etc/resolve.conf , it was exactly same as 32 bit.

Request you to please share your comments / suggestion which need to 
take care for above issues.

Regards
Jayesh Shinde
