This program was tested with MySQL, squirrelmail-1.4.0, neomail 1.24 on RedHat 9. You must consider it as beta code !.

As this is a run once program, I don't think that I will fix bugs or release new versions.

IF YOU USE THIS PROGRAM, YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!.

Make backup before you run this program !!!!
