Have the pref and abook format changed between versions

[Edward Capriolo]

Hello all,

I have been carefully moving our current mail system to new
hardware/software piece by piece over the last several weeks/months.

We have a rather old version of sm

* $Id: index.php,v 1.14.2.1 2003/07/27 19:38:44 kink Exp $

And we are looking to modernize to.

version $Id: index.php 13549 2009-04-15 22:00:49Z jervfors $

or the latest version.

Question:

For the   .abook and .pref .sig  files in the sm/data directory is the
format the same?

Can I just copy/mount these files directly, or do I have to convert
them in any way?

Thank you,
Edward

Address book format is the same, but 1.4.9+ has more format checks. Address book might break, if somebody forgot to add empty trailing fields in custom crafted address book files.

Older preferences should work in 1.4.x, but some defaults are changed.
