I hacked mailutil (ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/imap.tar.Z) not to
prompt for the cyrus admin password.  Backup your old mailspool.  Create
mailboxes on cyrus.  Then,

cd /var/mail
for m in *
do
   mailutil append /var/mail/$m {new.cyrus.server/norsh/tls/authuser=cyrusadmin/user=$m}INBOX
done

For this to work your cyrus server needs to support PLAIN+TLS mech
Unfortunately CRAM-MD5 does not support proxy auth and UW libs do not
support DIGEST-MD5.

Hope this help.
