[Kroupware] clean install?

[Nicolas Huillard]

We recently did a reinstall from kolab beta 1 to the latest.
We did teh following :
* shutdown kolab beta
* rename it's home directory
* install a fresh release
* recreate users (login were just 'username', and are now 
'username at domain') from the beginning
* import messages from the old kolab to the new one
* done.
We had problems to import messages : a simple "cp -a" of the mail 
directories does not work.
The /kolab/var directory tree has changed from beta 1 ro the latest 1.0 
: /kolab/var/spool/... is now in /kolab/var/imapd/spool/... Logs are not 
at the same place, etc.
Now everything works great.
One Outlook 2000 with Insight Connector did not like the login/password 
change : it kept crashing until I totally recreated the whole Windows 
Messaging profile from the start.
