Erm... (Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong...)
Don't Courier, Cyrus and Maildrop all use the same format - ie the Maildir format. (Courier made Maildrop which can be used with Cyrus, right?)
Have you copied the dirs, and taken a shot at seeing if they just work?
Warmest regards
Mike

I dont know about the Maildirs but I think you will find that it is
actually the client that knows whether the mail has been read or not. I
remember formatting my PC and reinstalling before and when I checked my
mail they were all unread.
