"Never you mind." ;)

It's an IMAP server and if you want to spit out large amounts of mail, I'd 
suggest writing a script, eg in perl or java, which uses the relevant 
modules/classes to act as a client to Cyrus (and to the other mail store).

At first I thought this was tricky, but if you use the proxying 
authentication trick everything else is nice and abstracted for you :)
