If you don't have a lot of users, you can use the python script imapcp (version 0.7), that connects to one imap server and duplicate what it founds in another imap. The only drawback I've foud for this is that it losts seen state. I may modify it but I have no spare time right now. Usefull if you have less that 10 users and many folders. I thought about using isync but it needs to be defined every single folder !! The good side, it keeps seen state. The seen state in cyrus is not easy to understand (needs to look at the code I think). But if someone finds how to do this, a mass conversion of cyrus mailbox to courier maildir can be done very easily. > > I haven't made the switch, only using Cyrus on a test system here > running Caldera's Volution Messaging Server.
