I have just tried the bsd2cyrus/folderxfer etc script, but cpmsg doesn't seem to want to do anything with the formail output.

Now you know why I didn't include them ;-)
No, seriously, the problem with these scripts is that they try to manipulate the datastore directly instead of through the protocol. Since the format of the datastore could change, the only recommended way is to speak to the server with the imap protocol.


BTW, I consider this to be a relatively significant issue, since it
seems 95% of all users who start a mail server on Mandrake get trapped
in uw-imap, so I feel we should provide an easy way to escape!

At the time I used one of the programs from UW imap utils, but it isn't perfect. This week there's been a thread on the cyrus list regarding migration.
In the thread starting here:

these programs have been suggested:

A search on freshmeat for "imap copy" gives 5 results, all seem relevant.
