Sorry for first incomplete email!
Hi,
I'm running roundcube 0.3.1 on a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server and planning to set up a complete new Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server with roundcube 0.7.1 at another hoster (so there is no way just to make a dist upgrade). Roundcube 0.3.1 was installed from the Ubuntu repository and because of security updates I'd like to use Ubuntu packages on the new server too. What would be a good way to migrated the mysql database from the old to the new server? Just dump it, restore on the new server and then tell the 0.7.1 to use this old database?
Cheers Marcus

Yes Marcus, that's exactly how I'd do it regarding the database. Once you have pointed RC at the database on the new host, either run the SQL schema updates manually, or through the web-installed.
But regarding security updates, the Ubuntu packages are badly out-dated, and the current stable release (0.9.4) has had numerous security issues fixed over the old. So using the Ubuntu packages for "security" reasons is counter-productive.
Also note that using the normal release Roundcube package is simple, as everything is self-contained within the roundcubemail directory, rather than split up all over the file system as the Ubuntu package does it. This makes future upgrades simpler, and it is far easier to maintain a current, secure version.
Yes Arne. I did that way so that I can install the latest from RC easily. Distro stable package is not current and sometimes in distro unstable version doesn't include the latest one and we dont want to use the unstable distro in our production server..
