Moving from cIMAP-2.3.16 to 3.0.5

[Savvas Karagiannidis]

Hi James,
Users' subscription files are normally saved in /var/imap/user in
directories based on the user's initial. Search for username.sub files in
there. Seen status used to be in there too in username.seen files but that
changed in more recent versions, where seen status information is stored
inside the cyrus.index file for each mailbox.

For the users' subscription information just copy the .sub files in the
same directory structure.
For the seen status information try copying the .seen files too. Migrating
that information used to be an automatic procedure in version 2.4, the
first time the user logged in but not sure if it still applies to 3.x..

Regards,
Savvas Karagiannidis
