Migrating from BSD style mailbox to Cyrus v2

[marc.bigler at day.com]

Thanks for the tip that's already half of the work done, now there is still
the password from the source (UW-IMAP) IMAP server...

Also how will Cyrus know which user I am copying the folders to ? Will it
still prompt for a username and then simply skip the password ?

Regards
Marc

1. lock down the network
2. set sasl_pwcheck_method: alwaystrue  in imapd.conf

That will turn off all password verification.

You may try to do a direct conversion, though. Good luck there...
