If all of your users only retrieve mail through Qpopper, then you 
simply enable server mode in your configuration.  That's all there is 
to it.  No upgrade needed.

If you have some users who access their mail using other programs 
(such as UW IMAP or shell programs), then you can enable server mode 
by default, and use a per-user configuration file to turn off server 
mode for just those users.

If you'd feel more comfortable easing into server mode, then use a 
per-user configuration file and enable server mode for just a few 
users at a time and satisfy yourself that all is well.  Although 
there is not any need to do this, as server mode is just a way for 
Qpopper to access the mail, it isn't something that requires an 
upgrade.  But it is an option if you are nervous.
