No hurries. Of course it would be good to figure things out for upcoming stable Debian 12 => 13 upgrades, but there is still some time for that. There is a way to change the database without migration. Which is what I did as I was not aware of the migrator at the time. But… it is not the recommended way and in worst case it is not completely lossless. So I will not describe it here at the moment unless someone specifically asks for it. But there is a way which also takes care of local filter rules which otherwise can be broken. But there is still some manual configuration adaption work so using the DB migrator would be much more convenient. Another way could be exporting and importing with the PIM data exporter, but not sure whether that works across database changes. Ideally it would. Whether that is completely lossless? No idea. From what I have seen I think it could be. However… for upcoming stable upgrades it would be much better to see about getting that database migrator to work just fine. Then there could be something in the release notes and if it is just a short note with a link to a Debian wiki article about it. Best, -- Martin - please no carbon copy to me
