OK, I will try this on my own mail server AFTER backing up all the 
metadata files.  <:)

I've already upgraded to 2.3.16 using HMH's debian branch (in production 
on 2 servers with no problems), but I still have 2.1.16 metadata files 
that I can experiment on for automatic conversion on an upgrade.  If it 
works for 2.1.16, it's probably safe to assume that it will work on 
2.2.x installs as well?  Anything older and it's "here's a nickel, kid; 
go buy yourself a better server" and use imapsync.
