On freshmeat there is a tool to convert from Cyrus to Maildir (which is
what courier uses).  

If it were me, I'd make one change at a time.

Step 1: Disable new message delivery.
Step 2: convert from cyrus to courier.
Step 3: re-enable new message delivery -- Maildirs should now
be the destination for new mail.

Once that's done and working, I'd then do the sendmail->postfix
conversion.

The MTA and IMAP server conversions could be done in either order, but I
wouldn't do *both* right off the bat.  It may be easier to to
sendmail->postfix /first/, but make sure you don't re-enable delivery
until the cyrus -> courier transition.
