imap transfer

[Sujit Choudhury]

I have now managed to download imapsync.  As I will be transferring mail 
from one account to another account within the "SAME" server, do I need 
to use the passwords of the accounts (which are not available to us)?
I can do it as cyrus user hopefully?
I am asking this question because I am dealing with live server and 
don't want to mess it up.

If it is successful, is it necessary to do reconstruct?

Thanks for all your help.
