I haven't made the switch, only using Cyrus on a test system here running Caldera's Volution Messaging Server. I have been looking at that machine, and I don't think it should be difficult to convert the Cyrus mail files to Courier since Cyrus keeps the messages in individual files into Maildir mailboxes compatible with Cyrus. I wrote a perl module to add mail to Maildir mailboxes which might be useful, and I would like some peer review. The main features are that it allows one to screen for duplicate messages or messages with duplicate bodies in one mailbox. It can either drop duplicates, or put them in a separate mailbox. It uses the Date: header in the message to generate the date part of the file name, and the md5 checksum of the body for the sequence number (with additional sequence if duplicate bodies aren't suppressed). If anybody's interested in looking at this, I have it in the normal CPAN style build, and can supply a tarball.
