Topic: Reinstall iredmail with latest version instead of upgrading

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.1
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? Downloadable
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Debian 10
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):  MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? NO
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====
I would like to just reinstall with the latest download so I would get the latest version.  I think this would be easier and less problematic to do than going through all of the upgrades and the steps to do them. They can be quite complicated.

One thing I would like to do if this is possible is back up all of my mail keeping the folders intact that I have created as seen in Roundcube and when I restore the mail it would also be in all the folders when i started back up.
Is this possible?

With this being said it would be something I would like to do when iredmail upgrades to the bullseye (Debian 11).

Re: Reinstall iredmail with latest version instead of upgrading

- Upgrading in-place is actually quite easy, you can check our upgrade tutorials:
  https://docs.iredmail.org/iredmail.releases.html

- Migrating to a new server has more work to do, we recommend upgrade in-place. But if you want to migrate, here's the tutorial: https://docs.iredmail.org/migrate.to.ne … erver.html
