-Upgrading from 0.3 or 0.4
-=========================
-If you are upgrading from versions 0.3 or 0.4 of SquirrelMail, you can use this
-guide to make the transition a bit smoother. If you have been using a previous
-version (0.1 or 0.2), it is suggested that you just start from scratch and
-configure your settings as if it was your first install.

1. Backups
===========
-Make a backup of your current SquirrelMail directory. If you use "cp", be sure
-to use the "-Rp" options. -R means recursive, and -p will save the permissions
-in the directory. In this example, we assume that your httpd document directory
-is /home/httpd/html.

3. Copy backups in place
=========================
Here is the main part. There are two parts to this step: copy preferences,
-and copy config details. The preference files are backwards compatible, so it
-is fine to copy the old user preferences into the new directory. However, the
-configuration file has changed quite a bit, so you will want to be sure to run
-the configure script (conf.pl) to set up any new config details.
