Although you have managed to import your emails I'd like to share some experiences of mine. If migrating from one email-server to the other you will often have to convert between different storage formats, i.e. maildir, mbox etc: One IMHO convenient way is to fire up "mutt", configure email-storage format for it and do a 'tag/save'. That way you will receive a local copy of the remote mailboxes which you can import into whatever your desire is. Or you could use (i.e.) Outlook and just drag and drop the whole hierarchy. (Make sure to grant yourself access to every mailbox before doing this.) Or you might want to give "imapsync" [1] a try. Just placing a email-file in the appropriate mailbox (thus somewhere in /var/spool/imap) won't let cyrus-imapd care about it. You will have to run a 'reconstruct' on that corresponding folder and you're ready. (Ab-)using that tool will save you a lot of trouble and make any migration really smooth and easy.
