[imp] How to get from IMP 2.2.7 to 3.0 without loosing mail...

[Brent J. Nordquist]

Hello Sean:  From your description, it looks like you are using RPMs, and
it's true that the 2.2.x and 3.0 RPMs can't coexist, nor can you just "rpm
-U" upgrade them and have everything working.  It will take a bit of
manual configuration.

There is no automated conversion process to change your 2.2.x config file
settings into 3.0 config files; you'll have to do that by hand.  However:

There are scripts on the Horde web site (in the contrib section) that you
can use to convert your users' preferences and contact lists to the new
database format used with IMP 3.0.  You shouldn't need to "reinstall the
box"; you will need PHP 4, but Red Hat, Apache, etc. shouldn't need to be
touched.  If I were you, I would use a second box to figure out the whole
process before you attempt it on your production machine.

Well, IMP uses IMAP, so your mail server must have an IMAP server running.  
That part doesn't need to change, as others have said.

If you want to keep using RPMs, make sure you read the RPM README file,
which will tell you exactly which prerequisite RPMs Horde/IMP/Turba need.

Thanks, committed.

Please note the following: 
- You don't need to send the .mo files, the .po files are sufficient
- If you use a recent gettext version, you don't longer need to escape the 
positionals like %2\\$s but can straightly use %2$s. This is the preferred 
format, because newer gettext versions fail with the former.
- It would be great if you or someone else (Oren, Akira) can bring the 
translations in sync with our cvs versions. For now they are the same in 
both the HEAD and the RELENG branches and based on the x.0 releases.
