Topic: Migration from 0.6.0 to 0.9.3

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.6.0
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 5.3
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Apache
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

Is it still possible to migrate from such an older version as 0.6.0 to 0.9.3 or are other steps needed for migration? Post-migration will look at moving to Pro.

Re: Migration from 0.6.0 to 0.9.3

To migrate mail accounts, it's better to export them with SQL command like below:

sql> USE vmail;
sql> insert into admin (username, password, name, language, passwordlastchange, created, modified, expired, active) select username, password, name, language, passwordlastchange, created, modified, expired, active from old_vmail.admin;
...

My point is, there're many SQL structure changes between 0.6.0 and 0.9.3, so it's easier to export useful/required sql columns.
