Did a couple tests. 
Looks like it can do it, but creates a new problem.
Need passwords for all users.
On the cyrus side can temporarily  set "sasl_pwcheck_method: allwaystrue".
Need some way to get into the uw-imap side.
The uw-imap side uses pam via ldap.
Thinking of a couple possibilities:
pam_rhosts_auth  allow from just from new server.
pam_userdb  and create a database for the project.
pam_permit  and restrict in hosts.allow or iptables.

Prefer something that allows doing some test runs with without
restricting user access.
Also that would help with the the speed problem as I could run it
overnight before the switch and then run again after stopping incoming
mail and user access.
Any thoughts?
