I think you are referring to the scripts I wrote (Oregon State University!
Go Beavers!).  They were good enough to handle OSU's migration to Cyrus,
but it wouldn't surprise me if they have some flaws.  Two problems that I
am aware of are:

1. IMAP flags are not migrated (most notably SEEN).
2. It does not handle unixhierarchysep: yes on the target system (easily
fixed).

If you have any suggestions for fixes, I'd be happy to update the scripts.
One of the problems with any migration tools/script is that it is
typically only written and used once.  :)
