Upgrading from kolab-2.0 to 2.2b3

Hi,

I want to upgrade a system that is currently running
kolab-2.0 to the last 
availabe kolab version (2.2b3).  According the upgrade-20-21
document [1] 
some changes have been made to database format (ldap and
cyrus). As this is a 
rather simple installation, only used for email and with
only a few users, 
would it be possible to just install the new kolab and
import the emails 
(email folders)?  If this is possible what is the procedure
to save and 
import the emails?
(is it e.g. possible to remove the cyrus database(s), leave
the actual emails 
untouched and than after upgrading recreate the cyrus
databases?

You'll loose the annotation information on the groupware
folders that
way but other than that it should be fine.

For the LDAP db you should use slapcat and reimport the
resulting ldif
file as described in the backup page on the wiki.

Cheers,

Gunnar
