Actually that all happened around 2.32 / 3.0, so it sounds like you're
already over that hurdle.  Which is good because the Maildir transition
proved particularly problematic and took a few tries to get right.

The only major change since 3.2 in terms of migration was the transition
of account data from GConf to plain text files.  That seemed to go a lot
more smoothly.

Details about it are here:

I'm pretty happy with the file layout now and don't have any more major
changes planned, so it should be smooth sailing from here on as far as
upgrades go.
