Upgrade problem.

[black zero]

I want to upgrade my stable version of hmail to latest beta. I tried to install it on test machine first, and installation of beta version ran perfectly. I tried to use it to send and receive emails and it did it job correctly as expected.

However, when I tried to restore backup from my stable hmail (using built in export function) to my test machine, it (beta hmail) couldn't download or transfer anything from backup file.

...basically I am asking common question here, what should I do to successfully migrate accounts from my stable to beta version? I could enter it manually, one by one accounts but it would take too much time and.... possible the most boring job ever....

restore will only work to same version.

Do a backup, then update your live install. If it doesn't work then you can reinstall the old version and restore your backup.

Do this on your backup machine first though.

Uh wait, here's what I will do:

Install on test machine, stable version.
Restore backup from my stable to my test machine.
Upgrade my test machine, from stable to beta.

Correct?

Thanks for your FASSSSTTTT reply. Will send you cookie after I successfully migrate my version. Will send you bomb if I fail.

lolwut? Hmail crashed with 'object variable is not set' error message when I tried to restore my backup, from stable to stable.... That was on my test machine, though. -.-

Did you reinstall again after your failed restore before?

Wow, I need to uninstall hmail before doing anything cross version. Problem solved, then. Thanks for helping.

No worries
