Hi!

I'm trying to move an entire cyrus installation from FreeBSD 4.10 on IA32
(aka x386) to a new Dell 2850 running FreeBSD 5.3 (amd64, or really
EM64T).

I use DB3, 3.3.11, on both machines.
Cyrus imapd 2.2.8 on the old one, 2.2.10 on the new one.

I've dumped/restored /var/imap & /var/spool/imap to the new system. The
db3 files, deliver.db and tls_sessions.db, I had to db_dump @ old system
&& db_load back on the new system; it seems db3 uses a native format that
differs between 32 & 64 bit, ctl_cyrusdb -r crashed signal 11 otherwise.

I don't recall offhand if cyrus automatically re-creates them but both tls_sessions.db and deliver.db are (fairly) safe to zero out, tlse_sessions.db is definitely, and deliver.db is mostly safe. deliver is use to de-duplicate messages. Hence why it is purged of entries older than N days (I use 3, others may use more or less)
