Running `setup-kolab imap` will actually take care of 2.2 and 2.4 
itself.

Noted that one could run `setup-kolab mta` to update the postfix 
configuration to the latest and greatest as well - assuming you didn't 
make any manual configuration changes to /etc/postfix/ldap/*.cf files, 
this should be fine.

One could also run `setup-kolab roundcube` for its configuration to be 
updated, but one will;

   - One will need to know the MySQL root password and MySQL roundcube 
password, and specify those exactly as they are,
   - Get an error on the attempt to create the database,
   - Get an error during the attempt(s) to create the tables in the 
database,

and one might want to double-check whether any of the MySQL schema 
upgrade files still need to be applied separately (list them with rpm 
-ql roundcubemail roundcubemail-plugins-kolab | grep sql)

No data migration is needed for an upgrade of Kolab 3.0 to Kolab 3.1. We 
intend to stick to a mantra of minor version number bumps only requiring 
(perhaps) configuration changes and updates, and bump the major version 
number component for LDAP schema upgrades, format converstions, and 
such.

Kind regards,
