In principle you could convert the SIMS mailboxes to Cyrus format,

unix2cyrus.sh in a post to the Postfix-Users at http://
archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2004-04/0966.html but it
would probably need adjustment to the fact that SIMS mailboxes use
<CR> line breaks (or you'd have to convert them to <LF> breaks
first...)
That script has an advantage over straight file conversion in that
it breaks up the old mailbox into messages and feeds them into the
'deliver' program for delivery into Cyrus mailboxes, so you are
really having your Cyrus mailboxes built by the same process that
would happen if you were accepting those messages normally and
delivering them. It also has the advantage of being able to bring
up the new Postfix/Cyrus combination live and having it live while
the old SIMS mailboxes are fed in. There is some risk that users
who have been leaving their mail on the server intentionally might
end up seeing the old messages as if they are new again, but that's
pretty much unavoidable.
Well, I converted a mailbox file to test. I setup the unix2cyrus
shell script (including tweaking it so it would actually find my copy
of cyrus), but no luck. When I run it, nothing happens. Not that I
expect any kind of output from the script, but the mail never appears
in the mail box it was heading for.
any ideas?
